FIX for Obb Game File Not Deleting - Remove Android Game Externel File Obb Data

Playing Game is such a Great Time Killer and gives pleasure a lot. There was a time when we use to play games on the Java and Symbian mobile phone but after Android came out. The mobile gaming lifted to the next level we can play even high-end games on our Android Smartphone.

So, I did the same I was playing Asphalt 8, GTA, and Mortal Kombat X in my Android Phone but when I got bored with GTA I uninstalled its installer and I was going to delete the External file with obb extension in the android folder of my file manager's. I tried many attempts but nothing worked. I even tried to rename the file name but it won't work.
I thought I have to give my storage to this game file forever. I give up and stop wasting my time on it.

After few days I went to my phone's system root folder to try to fix it and Yes my phone is Rooted so I see the same file existing in my root system storage then I try to delete it and it works.

So, How did I Fixed it?

I did it with a root file explorer so, the first step would be to Install any Root file Explorer of your choice. If you can't find any genuine try this Root Browser.

Now open it and you will see all system folders. Open 'mnt' folder then 'Runtime' after this open 'default' folder and you will find the Emulated folder in it like we have in internal storage and then open 'OBB' in it and delete Your Game File Data. Here is the sequence of the path.
System/Mnt/Runtime/Default/Emulated/Obb/

Final Words

This trick worked for me and I got rid of these additional files. If You still struggling with any step just leave a comment below.
