Tags:

android

There's this file in my res/drawable-hdpi folder called Thumbs.db and it has an error on it. I can't compile my project because of this. What exactly does this file do? Should I delete this file? I mean is it safe? Thanks.

What is a thumbs db file and can I delete it?

In Windows, thumbs. db files are database files containing the small images displayed when you view a folder in Thumbnail view (as opposed to Tile, Icon, List, or Detail view). These files are automatically generated by Windows, and there is no harm in deleting them or excluding them from system backups.

What are thumbs db used for?

Thumbs. db files are required by Windows to display a thumbnail for each icon. They are created automatically in the same directory as the thumbnails being viewed.

It is a windows specific file generated when you do a thumb view of an image, nothing to do with Android. You can delete this file
