Potential spy app, security concern, hidden, only shown in Cleanmaster junk sweep - LG Optimus L90

Hi,
I have this LG L90 D415 on T-Mobile. Rooted by Towelroot.
I used Cleanmaster from Play to remove bloatwares and do maintenance.
When I run "Junk Files" inside Cleamaster, one of the listd junks is (Chinese words) "爱情公寓" . Translated into English, it means "Love Apartment". I googled it, it could mean a TV series, or possibly an app.
This junk item is 226mb large.
I cleaned the junk file with Cleanmaster, but it always shows up later in another junk sweep. Cleanmaster doesn't show me which file or directory is related to this junk item.
Now D415 is by LG in China, made for USA market. Why there is this Chinese thing that is preinstalled and cannot be removed? And hidden?
I recently disabled and subsequently unstalled the MLK, another LG spy app also preinstalled on D415.
Knowing this unit is made in China and what Chinese commy government can do to cellphones in China, I have a bad feeling about it.
I searched by name, all over the phone's inside directories, couldn't find anything with that name.
Any help? Ideas? Maybe I am over reacting, but it is puzzling to me.
Hope someone can shed some light, thanks in advance.

Sorry, forgot to attach a screenshot. Here it is.

You may want to sort folders by size, perhaps it could help. Also have you looked for it in every folder in your system that contains data and/or app in title?

Any way to limited "Share" list? jpg in gallery..

Whenever I want to share something in the Gallery, I'm often wanting to push it to Facebook and my stupid share list has grown so large I can't even see Facebook in the list anymore. Yes, Tweetdeck might could work, although it's great for quick views it's missing a lot of stuff the Facebook app itself has.

Anyone ever seen a way to limit this list, except removing apps? I don't use several of them often, and don't want to send a jpg into most of them, but I don't know of any way to change it.
I assume what shows here is all apps which can receive a jpg.. If I clear the Gallery settings, I believe this list shrinks for a while but before long the apps are all back in the list.
I have the same thing, although at least my Facebook is reachable. No idea what's even off the top of the screen lol

I removed a few apps and now I see Facebook, but.. Bleh... I think it must put them in the order they enumerate, I recall at one point thinking if I ran Facebook first or last, maybe it'd stay at the bottom of the list where I could reach it.
Might sort them top-down as most-used... Awesome

Lenovo Z2 plus(India) bloatware problem !!!

Earlier I was using moto G2 that had a stock android and I was able to disable all the google bloatware that I didn't use. Now I bought a new phone (Lenovo Z2 Plus) which has a slightly customized ROM (Almost looks and fells like Stock) and I am not able to disable apps. What could be the reason?

See the disabled option White'd out ??
The reason is the manufacturer and Google do not want you to disable them, also Lenovo says the ROM is specially made keeping in mind the preferences of Indian population, and I think we do use the stock Google apps (lot of people I know do). And is there any reason you want to disable them?

Are there any means to disable any app without rooting?
To disable there apps, you´ll need root.
There are at least two different app-directorys in the android system. apps in one directory can be disabled. apps in the other are "protected" and can´t be disabled/removed without root.
Some of these apps in the protected folder are requierd by the system to work. Still there are also many unnecessary apps protected and i can´t understand why.

Notification: "Allow the WAP Push application to receive messages..." What to do??

Notification: "Allow the WAP Push application to receive messages..." What to do??
I don't understand what this is all about. I just got this phone last week, and ever since it was up and running, including first boot (if I recall correctly), I've had this cell-tower-like icon in my upper left corner. Always. Swiping down from the top reveals the following notice, and I'm given the chance to allow or deny.

Googling the content of this notice doesn't yield anything very informative, so I have a few questions:
1.) Is this coming from some app that can be disabled or uninstalled if I choose? Or is it part of the Android Oreo OS itself?
2.) What does it do if I allow it? Might it be useful or just some kind of spam?
If it's relevant, this phone was the international version, with the firmware probably Chinese (but of course I switched the language to English). Thanks for any info/help!

WAP push allows photos, URL links, wallpaper, ringtones, etc etc, to be directly embeded into SMS messages, so long as the sending server has it enabled.
It's an effort to bring SMS up to the speed of instant messaging, although it's probably a bit too late to catch up. Enabling it doesn't mean it'll work either, it has to be enabled with your service provider also.
I have mine disabled, effected nothing.
Theres quite a good explanation on StackOverflow

Question Out of storage issue

On my S21 Ultra, I'm showing to be 98% full. when I go to look at storage, I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, nothing much is showing up as using that memory other than the "Other" area. How can I dig down into the "Other" area and see what's there that I can get rid of?
In the event that it makes a difference, the model number is SM-998U1; Android version 12; One UI versoin 4.0; Security patch level is Nov. 1, 2021.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Just about any File Explorer in Play Store will assist in identifying the files.
Porn...guaranteed you have filled up your phone with porn
You got porn brain 4 sure!
Possibly items in secure folder. Let's say you have an app like telegram app in secure folder and it has been saving 100s of videos.
LOL!
Actually, I've used a couple of file managers, and I can see what's there, but it doesn't seem to add up. What I'd really like is a tool that would show me intalled apps, along with the amount of storage they're using, including their data and cache values.
Settings
Apps
Change sort order (Your apps .............. (sort icon))
Size
Lists apps in size order with size underneath. The size shown includes data/cache.
For example, my first one is Spotify 2.41GB which is mostly cache data as it keeps some songs on device
Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind for later. Last night, I finally threw up my hands and factory reset my phone. I figure it'll take me about a week to get MOST of the things back the way I like them. In the meantime however, my storage is MUCH better than it was.

Prototype Huawei p20 pro google services

UPDATE: looks like this android should have Google services and i just needed to update.
I made the mistake to buy a Huawei not knowing the Google services have been removed (totally my fault). I was a gift for my mom and now I am trying to figure out a fast way to be able to install some services like whats app and messenger (which she uses often).
I had a look online and everything is a little complicated (i can get my head around it if i spend some time on it i am a little technical just not in the mobile field).
The reason for this post is i need to help to determine the best way to achieve my goal (have some apps such as whats app):
1. Do i install apps that will allow me to add google services in the current device&software?
2. Do i remove everything and install a new ROM?
3. Do i take it to a professional? (Not sure if there is such a service and its costs, i am in UK)
4. Sell it? not sure anyone would want a Huawei and not sure if this being a prototype has a higher or lower value
Huawei P20 Pro Twilight CLT-AL00 8.1.0.123(C00) (i guess is worth noting that this seems to be a prototype version and in the back where the Huawei logo is supposed to be it says "Shirley", the guy who worked for Huawei). It also has 6 dots which seem like sensors down right corner which i cant seem to see on images of this device.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you
