Where on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 store conversation records: all ways to find and save

You're looking for where the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 stores phone records? You may have accidentally deleted an important audio file, or you just want to move the records to another medium. In this article, we'll look at all possible storage locations, from standard system folders to hidden MIUI directories, and how to recover deleted records if they're not overwritten.

Xiaomi MIUI-based smartphones have file system features that differ from pure Android. For example, call records can be stored not only in obvious folders like Recordings, but also in secure partitions that require root rights or special applications to access, and we will look at both standard search methods and alternative methods for power users.

It's important to understand that file location depends on which application you used to record, and the built-in MIUI recorder, third-party programs like Cube Call Recorder or ACR, and cloud services like Mi Cloud store data in different ways, and you'll find step-by-step instructions for each case below.

1. Standard folders for MIUI entries

If you used the built-in Recorder app or the standard MIUI call recording feature, the files are most often stored in the following directories:

• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/Recordings/ — The main folder for audio recordings, including calls, where files are sorted by date and can have names like Call_20260515_143022.mp3.
• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/MIUI/sound_recorder/ — slip-folder MIUI, where sometimes duplicated records (especially in older versions of firmware).
• 📁 /storage/emulated/0/Download/CallRecordings/ — alternative location if you have configured saving in "Downloads".

To open these folders:

1. Run the Files app on your Redmi Note 10.
2. Go to the Local Storage section → Internal memory.
3. Enable the display of hidden files (click on the three dots in the upper right corner → Settings → Show hidden files).
4. Look for the folders from the list above.

If the folders are not there or are empty, then the records were saved elsewhere (see the following sections) or deleted, in the latter case, move to the section on the recovery of deleted files.

2. entries from third-party applications (Cube ACR, Boldbeast, etc.)

Popular call recording apps like Cube Call Recorder, ACR, or Boldbeast create their own folders, and their location depends on the program's settings, but most often these are:

If you don't remember which app you used, check all the folders listed.

1. Open the settings of the application for recording calls (if it is still installed).
2. Find the Storage Location or the Preservation Path.
3. Follow the path in the file manager.

⚠️ Note: Some applications (e.g. Boldbeast) may save entries to secure folders that are only accessible through root or ADB. If the standard search did not give results, try connecting your smartphone to your PC and use the program. ES File Explorer with Root Mode enabled.

3.Research records through MIUI system tools

MIUI has built-in file search tools that can speed things up. Here's how to use them:

• 🔍 Search in the Files app: Open Files → Click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner, type in the keywords: call, record, call, record.
• 📱 Search by system: Swipe down the main screen to open the search bar. Enter the recorder or recorder. The system can give you not only the applications, but also the last files saved.

If the search didn’t work, try using Google Files, which often finds files that aren’t displayed in the standard MIUI file manager:

1. Install Google Files from the Play Market.
2. Open the application → go to the Cleanup → Analysis section.
3. After scanning, select the Audio tab and look for files with your call dates.

💡

If you record calls frequently, set up automatic saving to the cloud (Google Drive, Mi Cloud). To do this, in the recorder application, find the section "Cloud Backup" and link your account.

4. Cloud Storage: Mi Cloud, Google Drive and Others

Many Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 users are unaware that their call records are automatically synced to the cloud.

• ☁️ Mi Cloud: Go to Settings → Xiaomi accounts → Mi Cloud. Make sure that sync is enabled for the Recorder or Call Recorder app. Open the web version of Mi Cloud, log in and check the Records or Files section.
• ☁️ Google Drive: If you used apps with Google integration (like Cube Call Recorder), check the CallRecordings folder in your Drive. → My CD. → Folders.

Other clouds:

Important: Mi Cloud only stores records for 30 days by default, after which they can be deleted automatically. To avoid this, manually transfer important files to another storage.

5. Recovering deleted call records

If the records have been deleted, you can try to restore them using specialized programs. Note that success depends on how long it has been since you deleted and how much you used your smartphone (new data can overwrite old files).

Install a recovery program (DiskDigger, Recuva)

Do not save new files to the device-->

The most effective tools:

• 🛠️ DiskDigger (Android): Install DiskDigger from Play Market. Select Full Scan (requires root permissions for maximum efficiency). Filter results by format.mp3,.Amr,.wav. Save the recovered files to SD-map.
• 💻 Recuva (for PC): Connect Redmi Note 10 to your computer in File Transfer mode (MTP). Install Recuva and scan the connected device. Look for files with audio extensions.

If the recovery fails, try backing up:

• Check if you have automatic backup enabled in Settings → Additional → Backup and Reset.
• If yes, restore the data from the last copy (note that this may erase your current settings).

We also recommend:

• Clean old records regularly so as not to clog up memory.
• Use encrypted applications (such as Boldbeast) if the records contain sensitive information.

💡

The most reliable way to avoid losing records is to combine local storage with a SD-map + cloud-boot.
