    Hey Alain Church, thanks so much for the screenshots!

    So, just to sum it up here: in the first couple of screenshots it seems you're deleting the folder "Screen Clip" and then when you reboot, you get the second screen with the delete message. Are those files related to the "Screen Clip" folder by any chance? 

    Do you reboot the device, or the app? If so, how do you reboot it?

    Also can you try uninstalling the app, and then reinstalling it to see if the behavior remains the same after that?
