How to Save Changes Directly to Original Files on SD Card

Question:

Hello there, I apologize for posting in the wrong forum. Recently, I bought a new Samsung cell phone and transferred all my files to an SD card from my old Samsung phone. However, I am encountering an issue where the system does not save changes directly to the original file when I edit it. Instead, it creates a new file with a different name and asks where to save it. This results in multiple files being created every time I open the file for data input. Can you please advise me on how to save changes directly to the original file? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi there! Don't worry, this is actually a common issue. It seems like this might be an issue with your default saving settings. Do you have any third-party apps installed for file management? Sometimes these can interfere with direct save functionality. Additionally, make sure your SD card is not locked or write-protected as this can also cause the issue you're experiencing. If these aren't helping, try reaching out to Samsung's customer service as they might have a more specialized solution for your specific phone model.
