Where on Xiaomi Redmi 10 are stored phone records: all the ways to find and save

Have you recorded an important conversation on Xiaomi Redmi 10 but can't find the file? Or accidentally deleted the record and want to restore it? In this article, we'll look at all possible storage locations for audio files with conversations on your smartphone, from standard folders to hidden system directories, and how to export the records correctly so that you don't lose them when you reset your phone.

Unlike many other brands, Xiaomi doesn’t always save the recordings in obvious places, depending on how you recorded it: through a built-in voice recorder, a phone app, third-party programs or even hidden MIUI features. We analyzed all the options and put them together in one guide — with step-by-step instructions, screenshots (descriptions) and warnings about typical errors.

Standard storage locations for Redmi 10 records

If you've used MIUI built-in tools to record conversations, the files are most often stored in one of three folders, and their location depends on the firmware version and regional settings.

• 📁 The Records folder is the primary location for files created through the Dictator app (com.miui.soundrecorder). → MIUI → sound_recorder.
• 📱 Phone app folder - here are stored automatic call records if the function is enabled in the settings. → MIUI → voicerecord.
• 🔊 Downloads folder - some versions MIUI Store your records here, especially if you downloaded them from the cloud or sent them to yourself via messengers.

Important: Redmi 10 firmware MIUI 12.5+ For example, in the global version, files are often stored in the /storage/emulated/0/Recordings, And in Chinese, in /storage/emulated/0/MIUI/voice_recorder. To avoid guessing, use the built-in File Manager and enter the folder name in the search.

How to find records through the application "Files"

The easiest way is to use Xiaomi's standard file manager, which automatically sorts media files into categories, including audio.

1. Open the Files app (the blue-background folder icon).
2. Go to the Category tab in the lower menu.
3. Select the Audio section.
4. In the top line of the search, enter the keywords: record, call or voice.

If there are many records, sort them by date of creation (click on the three dots in the upper right corner). → Sorting → Note: Call files often have the.amr or.mp3, a) their names contain the date and time (e.g, 20260515_143022_call.amr).

💡

If there are too many files in the search results, add an extension to the query, for example, type *.amr, so only audio recordings in this format will appear.

Hidden folders and system directories

Some records are stored in hidden folders that are not displayed by default.

• 🔒 Automatic call records (if feature is enabled in phone settings).
• 📱 Files created by system services (e.g. voice assistant).
• 🔄 Backup copies of records that MIUI pre-renewal.

To see the hidden folders:

1. Open Files → Click on three points → Settings.
2. Activate the option to show hidden files.
3. Go to the root directory of internal memory (/storage/emulated/0/).
4. Look for folders with names:.voice_recorder (beginning-point!).miui_voicerecord Android/data/com.android.providers.media

On Redmi 10 with MIUI 13+, automatic call records can be stored in encrypted form in the folder /data/user/0/com.android.phone/files/.

Records in the cloud services Xiaomi

If your Redmi 10 is synced to Mi Cloud, the records could automatically be uploaded to the cloud.

1. Open your Settings → Xiaomi Account → Mi Cloud.
2. Make sure that the Slide Sync recordings are active.
3. Go to i.mi.com (the web version of Mi Cloud) and log in.
4. In the Devices section, select your Redmi 10 → Files → Audio.

⚠️ Note: When copying to Windows, some audio files (.amr,.3gp) Install codecs (such as the K-Lite Codec Pack) or convert files to.mp3 via Audacity or online services.

What to do if the records are missing

If you don’t find entries in standard folders, try the following steps:

1. Check the Recycle Bin: In the File Manager, open the Recycle Bin section – it is possible that the files have been deleted recently (stored for up to 30 days).
2. Use recovery apps: DiskDigger (free version looking for audio files), Recuva (requires root rights for deep scanning), Undeleter (works without root, but with restrictions).

Check backups:

Settings → System → Backup

⚠️ Warning: Don't install recovery software on the same memory partition where the records were stored! This will overwrite deleted files and make it impossible to restore them. SD-card.

💡

The faster you start recovering, the better the chances of returning deleted records, and each new operation on your phone (install apps, take photos) reduces the likelihood of a successful recovery.
