Troubleshooting Backup and Cleanup

Last updated on Jul 18, 2026

Photos are missing from a scan

Open Android Settings, Apps, SoLo Backup & Clean, then Permissions. Review Photos and videos access. If access is limited, select more photos or allow full access, return to the app, and refresh storage.

Google Drive folder is rejected

In the Android folder picker, open Google Drive and choose a writable folder. The app creates a SoLo Backup & Clean subfolder inside it. Keep the app open while copying, then confirm the copied files in Drive.

Cleanup did not free space yet

Android may move media to trash. Empty the system trash when you are ready, then refresh storage. If the Android confirmation was cancelled, nothing was removed.

Message restore will not continue

Keep Airplane mode on, follow the temporary default-SMS prompts, and use the password that created the archive. Before reconnecting, switch your normal messaging app back to the default. Device, carrier, and messaging-app support can vary.

Contact support safely

Send the visible error, Android version, phone model, and the step that failed through https://clean.solovisionllc.com/support. Do not attach private media, messages, an archive, or its password.
