Well, if it is Windows only, I can't easily use it.

I'll save the link, thanks, for the occasion.


Whastapp saves its things to ".../Android/media/com.whatsapp", but some 
do under ".../Android/data/", like for instance:

/au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts		 16626M (podcasts)
/com.google.android.apps.maps		 83037K (cache)
/com.mobialia.gas.spain			 14620K (map_cache.db)
/com.pixlr.express			101696K (working files)
/com.wallapop				 33446K (photos)
/com.xiaomi.wearable			 75163K (logs)
/es.bancosantander.apps			 15186K (photo uploads)
/net.osmand.plus			 16933M (several)
/org.videolan.vlc			 17901K (jpgs?)

(only the biggest users, there are many more)

This entire directory is missed when doing a backup by FTP.
