Storage and saved data

Morphe keeps more than the app itself: the original APKs it patched, the patched results, downloaded patch bundles, your keystore, and the patch selections you made per app. All of it is visible, and most of it can be cleared, from Settings → System → Files & storage.

Storage management

Storage management shows where the space went, broken down by category:

Category	What it holds
Original APKs	Pre-patch files kept for repatching, one version per app
Patched APKs	Copies of the results, for export or reinstall
Patch bundles	The patches downloaded from your sources
Signing keystore	The key every patched APK is signed with
App data	Morphe's own settings and database
Network cache	HTTP responses cached to speed up updates
External installer cache	APK copies staged for third-party installers
Patcher workspace	Patcher runtime files and orphaned scratch data
Temporary files	Working files created during patching

The last four are caches and clear individually. Clear all caches frees them in one go, and Morphe spells out what that means: cached network responses, staged installer copies, and temporary files go, while original and patched APKs are kept.

Open Android app storage hands you over to the system screen, where clearing data wipes everything, including the keystore, see Backing up Morphe and your keystore.

Saved APKs

Original APKs and Patched APKs each open a list with per-app entries and their sizes, plus the total at the top.

Each entry offers what makes sense for it: Export to write the APK somewhere, Share, Install or Reinstall for a patched build, Mount for a root mount install, Uninstall, and Delete to drop the saved copy. Delete all clears the whole list, and you can export a selection as a zip, morphe-patched-apks.zip or morphe-original-apks.zip.

Whether these copies are kept at all is controlled from the same dialogs:

• Keep original APKs - saves the pre-patch APK so repatching does not ask for the file again. One version per app is kept.
• Keep patched APKs - saves a copy of the result for later export or reinstall.

Patch selections

Patch selections lists the patches and patch options you saved per app, grouped by the source they came from. These survive uninstalling the patched app, which is what lets a repatch reproduce your previous build.

Each entry expands into two sections, Selected patches and Patch options, so you can see exactly what is stored before touching it.

The actions are:

• Copy - fills this entry from another patch source's saved selection, the same Copy selection from another bundle action offered on the Expert mode patch screen. Only patches that exist in both sources are copied.
• Export and Import - a JSON file of your selections and options. Importing asks whether to Replace existing or Merge with existing, exactly like the settings backup.
• Reset - drops what is saved, at the level you choose: a single source of one app, one app across all sources, the apps you selected, or everything at once. Morphe lists what will be deleted and asks for confirmation.

Resetting a selection does not touch the installed app. The next time you patch it, Expert mode simply starts from the recommended selection again, see Patching an app in Expert mode.
