Sometimes it's their own folder in their own sandboxed app directory. A lot of apps do that now to avoid permissions issues. Like the GBA emulator I use no longer puts game saves in the user's root directory so you can't even see them without a USB connection to a PC, and even if you do that it's extreme obfuscated.

If you refer to pizza boy, the dev told me by email that there's an option to save somewhere else (I sent an email complaining that hiding saves in /android/data/com.app.blabla is stupid (can only be accessed via USB and it gets wiped when you uninstall the app), at least use /android/media/com.app.blabla

Ok the first bit I can kinda understand, but obfuscating them? Now that has to be intentional

if it's images you're looking for, have you checked your gallery? if an app saves an image in a way it doesn't show up in your gallery, get a better app cuz that one sucks
