In the most basic sense, “root” refers to the topmost folder in a device’s file system. If you’re familiar with Windows Explorer, root by this definition would be similar to the C: drive, which can be accessed by going up several levels in the folder tree from the My Documents folder, for instance.
How do I find root directory on Android?
As long as your Android is rooted and ES File Explorer is installed on your Android’s internal storage, this will enable root access for ES File Explorer. Wait for root folders to appear. After a second or two, ES File Explorer will refresh; when it finishes, you should see root files and folders displays.
How do I get to my root directory?
To locate the system root directory:
- Press and hold the Windows key, then press the letter ‘R’. (On Windows 7, you can also click start->run… to get the same dialog box.)
- Enter the word “cmd” in the program prompt, as shown, and press OK.
