Really disappointing to see that this, such a simple issue, hasn't been patched yet even after community has provided solutions for you in the form of pull requests.

This has happened to me too, it's really annoying!

My storage is set to External. I believe it was functioning just fine before the 1.18 update.

Hello, I am also having the same issue.

Yes, I have transferred my Minecraft files to the new location, but after closing the game for some time and then reopening it, all the files in the new location were reset causing data loss.

I am able to reproduce this issue on my Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite. Minecraft loses all of it's data after it's cache has been cleared by Xiaomi's Cleaner app.

This also happens without the Cleaner running, probably when the Operating System clears Minecraft's cache itsself.

This has caused me to lose all of my worlds and data.
