If your vivo S50 File Manager keeps crashing whenever you try to open folders or browse storage, it can quickly disrupt your workflow. You may see the app close suddenly or freeze for a few seconds before returning to the home screen. This issue is usually caused by corrupted cache files, storage glitches, or software bugs, and the good news is that you can fix it with a few targeted steps.
Why Your vivo S50 File Manager Keeps Crashing
- Corrupted cache or temporary app data.
- Outdated system software.
- Low available storage space.
- Conflicts with recently installed apps.
- File indexing errors after system updates.
Clear the File Manager Cache
Over time, cached files can become corrupted and cause the app to crash unexpectedly. Clearing the cache removes temporary files without deleting your personal data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap App management, and then find and tap File Manager.
Tap Storage, and then tap Clear cache.
After clearing the cache, open File Manager again and check if it runs smoothly.
Clear App Data
If clearing the cache does not help, resetting the app data may resolve deeper configuration issues. This will reset the app to its default state but will not delete your personal files.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap App management, and then select File Manager.
Tap Storage, and then tap Clear data.
Open the app again and test whether it still crashes.
Restart Your vivo S50
A simple restart refreshes system processes and clears temporary memory conflicts. It is often enough to stop random crashes caused by background errors.
Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to fully boot up, and then open File Manager again.
Check for Software Updates
System updates often include stability improvements and bug fixes. If the File Manager started crashing after an update, installing the latest patch may solve the problem.
Open Settings, and then tap System update.
Tap Check for updates, and then download and install any available update.
After updating, restart the device and test the app.
Free Up Storage Space
When internal storage is almost full, apps may crash due to insufficient space for temporary processes. Keeping some free storage helps the system function smoothly.
Open Settings, and then tap Storage.
Review available space, and then delete unnecessary files or unused apps.
Once you free up space, reopen File Manager and monitor its performance.
File Manager crashes on the vivo S50 are usually tied to minor software or storage issues. Clearing the cache, updating the system, and freeing storage space typically resolve the problem quickly, allowing you to manage your files without interruption.
FAQs
Why does File Manager crash when opening large folders?
Large folders can take longer to load, especially if storage is nearly full. Clearing cache and freeing space usually improves performance.
Will clearing File Manager data delete my personal files?
No. Clearing app data resets the app settings but does not delete photos, videos, or documents stored on your device.
Could a third party file app cause conflicts?
Yes. Installing multiple file management apps may cause indexing conflicts. Try disabling or uninstalling other file apps if the issue continues.
