I have a phone running stock Android 13 and every few days a folder is created called Cache and inserts some generic images into the folder.

Does anyone have ideas on how I can identify which app is doing this?

    it is possible that one of the apps on your phone is a trojan,

    and is creating a generic “red herring” in order to hide what it’s really doing.

    it also is possible that this is just some Google keep-politically-correct-images-available stuff, and those images are part of your Android’s current install, or part of another app’s current install, and your Android is seeing those images, & is thumbnailing them.

    Either way, I think it’s Android doing it, not some app you installed ( Google’s photos app, is most likely culprit )
