Samsung S20 Android 13. I have found that NO 3rd party file managers work to access these files. I've tried Mixplorer (free and paid). It does not work. I've tried almost all of them. No luck. The only file manager that can access and read/write/copy/delete items in these Android folders on Android 13 is the hidden system file manager, which can be easily accessed using the shortcut "Files" app (by Marc), a available in Google Play. (Helpful trick: on the file manager tap "new window" , then go to "recent files" screen and get the two windows to open in "split screen". You can then drag and drop (copy/paste) from one window to the other.

The only 3rd party app that does "kinda" work is FV Explorer. But it only works through some convoluted steps which just end up opening the hidden system file manager! Though conveniently it opens it already in a two pane, split screen window. In the end it's probably simpler and more direct to just use the Marc "Files" app to open the system file manager, then merge two windows in split screen if you want to.

I still use Solid Explorer for everything else, but use the system file manager (via Marc Files shortcut) if I need to edit things in the Android Data folder.
