I lost all my stored APK files from my last two years due to this mistake
on my part. 

Of course, it's *my* mistake.
I pressed the buttons.
Yet, I lost everything.

So I just want to warn you not to make the same mistake.

But, if you ever use ES File Explorer's "Cleaner", it pops up for only a
split second "what" it's going to clean, and then comes up with a
file-by-file menu that is completely confusing to me.

It's so confusing that it's hard to even describe, but it's so dangerous to
use, that I would *not* recommend *ever* using the GUI because one slight
mistake, and *all* your files are wiped out.

In my case, it wiped out all my stored APKs (hundreds of them) in one fell
swoop, without even a second chance. 

The GUI does not seem to have the option of just deleting selected files,
which is strange (because that's what I had tried - but it wiped out
everything nonetheless). 

Basically, my recommendation is either go over the GUI with a fine-toothed
comb, or, simply avoid it altogether.
