Accidently deleted folder burstlyImageCache. Is it bad? Will it affect my phone somehow?

Welcome to the forum tyla!

Thanks for joining us here.

Like Droid-Xer said, it will recreate itself when it needs it again. No sweat man!

thanks for your fast answers! I'm new in android world so don't know many things.
maybe you know which application uses that folder? don't want to be bothering, but I enjoy when everything is clear for me.

It is related to some games that use ads. Most notably, Angry Birds.

Don't know what all it is used for, but I was trying to attach a DCIM/camera/nnn.jpg file from my phone to an email. Somehow, the double-click to select/open the .jpg file got translated into something that deleted all 761 photos I had in that directory. (Somewhat luckily, I had copied ~696 of them already and only 20 of the missing 65 I considered important. (The .thumbnails directory was still populated so I could at least see what was "gone".) Still didn't know what happened to delete the files since normally when I purposely delete files, Win 7 asks me. Anyway, looked around the phone and found all the "missing" photos in burstlyimagecache. Immediately copied all of them off to another directory on the PC. Worried that if it gets "recreated" as stated above, it will see the files are no longer in DCIM/camera and Android will delete them from burstlyimagecache then too. Don't know if camera images automatically go to burstlyimagecache or it had something to do with my fumble-fingered double-click. If anyone cares, I also found the original photos were still "available" under the Gallery application in the "camera" folder. Just didn't see an easy way to get them copied/saved to the PC via USB cable from there. FWIW (Well, I tried writing reasonable paragraphs, but preview shows them all strung together...)
