[Feature request] Improve file detection #4774
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are files that Amaze cannot find, despite being a gigantic file. I wish the app did.
An issue on another repo from another app generated this phantom storage eater file which could *not be found. I had to find a specific program on a pc.
Describe the solution you'd like
I wish the app was able to find this file
Additional context
That file didnt show up easly unless I tried to trigger a specific function of the program called check for errors, or "repair something". In any case after triggering that the file could be viewed and deleted by the pc program

My SD card also has 23gb free (62gb space) and counting ALL the content showed by amaze in the sd card, the occupied space is 34gb, so 23 + 34 = 57gb
Where are the missing 5gb? I wish I knew. You might say it is a dedicatrd partition but checking with a pc there are no other partitions, hidden files are also showed so I dont think I miss anything

We might need some way to create this file to test.

If this is a result of a corrupt filesystem, I don't think we could solve it, but we can try to detect the corruption itself.

It becomes findable only if you do "check for errors" or some kind of repair feature. Tho my own device "check for errors" (that occours at device restart) doesnt do anything
