On most Android versions, certainly on mine, which is not rooted, App Ops
Starter freeware will allow you to *change* the permissions of anything,

So, for example, if ES File Explorer wants access to, oh, say, contacts,
you can just turn that on and off at will.

It was my fault for not backing the sd card to somewhere *off* the phone!
In two or three years, I never had this problem.
But, of course, it happened. So, I should have backed it up.
My fault.

I don't have a war with anyone.
I love Android users.
