Program is... ok, but I cannot stand that it boots up the program "bluestacks helper" even when not in use and hasnt been used in a while. I havent opened the program in over a month and have rebooted my computer but the program always boots itself without permission. The only reason I havent uninstalled yet is because of a save file for a game without cloud saves, once I finish that game ill never have the program on my computer again

This emulator was working fine till…
This emulator was working fine till some glitches took place. I play free fire in Bluestack. Three days earlier I was getting eliminated in between the matches, while running. Since yesterday I can't play free fire as smart mode is not working. It's better not to play than play in standard mode mode. Please resolve this issue. 😭😭

BlueStacks issues and heavily moderated (Avoid)
Just wanted to point people to use any other Android emulator besides BlueStacks.
I pointed out that the emulator eats up you HD, as in 60Gb+ for no reason and that it hides the folders insides the data folder, so you can't transfer it across. It doesn't matter which file manager you use, only theirs can see the data inside but cannot be edited.
I tried to look up any information regarding this and it is nowhere to be found, as if they make sure it is all deleted off the internet:)
Other issues is that my PC had a few blue screens of death, made games run very slow with echo sounds, a whole other things but I kept using it as I didn't know better.
My post on the r/ Bluestacks reddit sit regarding this was deleted by their moderators without any feedback or answer. I was a little heavy on my tone and annoyed after wasting days trying to figure it out without finding any trace of answers. In the end I just uninstalled the emulator and went to LDPlayer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This was my post:
"Why is Android/data empty on Bluestacks and how to access it?
I can only see the files in the data folder by using the s****y default File Manager. I call it s****y because you cannot select folders to rename or delete. So I am now left with lots of !backup folders or folders I created for testing purposes, just to see if I create a folder by using ES Explorer if it shows, which it doesn't. Becomes invisible and then if you try to create a new one it just won't work because there is one already... which you cannot see, nor can you delete.
Why is it so hard to access those folders? How the hell are you supposed to transfer the data and obb folders if needed to do so?
It is extremely frustrating, LDPlayer doesn't do this crap.
How come no one else complained about this extremely important issue? Might as well not bother with Bluestacks.

Use any decent file manager from Google play store instead. Use common sense

It doesn't work mate, BlueStacks hides the files in data. You can try every file manager out there, paid or unpaid, none work. The only way is to use Total Commander or Ghost Commander and go to input the path manually. So for example if you have data/com.tencent.tmgp.sskeus you gotta go to it manually, you can access the folder but you won't be able to delete it.
Their file manager can see everything but it cannot rename or delete folders, only files, or you can use the select all in data and then delete.
I have moved to LDPlayer and everything works fine,
P.S. I was using ES File Explorer on BlueStacks.

Very Bad Experience
Bad experience:
I installed Among us from the Bluestack site, As soon as the installation finished, Boom, My computer went with the blue screen with a windows error, precisely WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (A data loss error), I immediately panicked, But it was not a serious mistake and fortunately, after 2 minutes it was able to restart, I do not recommend it at all.
