Hello shishirkant,


It sounds like you have iCloud set up for some third-party apps. You can learn how to turn them on and off here: Set up iCloud for third-party apps on all your devices - Apple Support


You may find this information the most helpful:

Set up iCloud for third-party apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name].
2. Do one of the following:
* iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Tap iCloud, then tap Show All.
* iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Tap iCloud.
3. Scroll down, then turn on the app. For some apps, you need to turn on iCloud Drive before you can turn on the app.


Thanks.

Hi shishirkant,


If you need help moving the files so you can delete the folder, check out the information from the Aloha support website here: How can I transfer my Aloha downloads from one iOS device to another?



You can also delete files with the steps in the article here: Delete a file or recover a file that you deleted from the Files app


Cheers.

No it’s not helping. I checked in Aloha settings there is no option of sharing with ios app Files. In iPhone settings too I checked but Aloha app is not set to share with Files.

attached screenshot of Files

Brows > on My iPhone > folders are seen.

Aloha is seen.

if I click Aloha folder it opens with its contains files pics, videos etc


what to do ?

even I try password lock Aloha app but still it’s appearing in Files.
