Deleting a file on flash does not erase it. The pages stay until garbage collection gets to the block. qnxprobe recovers deleted files from YAFFS2, JFFS2 and UBIFS. On a real Android dump: 1,945 deleted, 1,924 complete, 149 of 150 checked byte for byte. leapps.org/releases#section-qnxprobe #DFIR

iLEAPP now reports FEWER installed apps. 3,981 down to 791. That is the fix. The old count included app extensions and container activity that never proved an install. History went up, 9,575 to 11,786. The claim got smaller, the evidence got bigger. leapps.org/blog
