It basically is a folder on your Android device that us linked with, owned and created by the Facebook Messenger application. Facebook and its auxiliary app, Messenger, automatically creates the folder in any Android device, so if any or both of these two apps are installed, then the device will surely have this folder. Audios, images, thumbnails, videos, plugins, cookies and cache are stored in this folder by Facebook, as well as other data sub-files. That is why, if you look at the size of this folder anytime, you'll notice that it takes up large amounts of space on your phone. If you try to wipe or delete this folder, it just keeps coming back again and again as long as you still use the Facebook app, or that of Messenger. Now, let's begin by addressing some regular enquiries (or FAQs) about the com.facebook.orca folder.
Nope, it surely isn't a virus or any harmful kind of software. All it is, is a folder generated by the Facebook app on your phone to store up data that it requires to function smoothly. Also, it is not a site or URL of some sort.
Well yes, it is possible, but it just won't be permanent. If you keep using the Facebook or Messenger app in your phone, it comes back again. In short, the folder will be created again whenever you launch either the Facebook or Messenger app. Hence, it can only be deleted temporarily.
It is very necessary. For Facebook and its Messenger app to function properly on your phone, it has to be present. All its crucial data files From Facebook are saved within in various formats. One very interesting fact about this folder too, is that it can be used to get back messages that were deleted, and other important Facebook files. Hence, if you deleted any important or files, this folder can help you get them back.
The folder com.facebook.orca is where data from Facebook Messenger is stored, and data here includes messages and other files saved in an encrypted, secure format. Sometimes, you may require some messages which might have been deleted either mistakenly or on purpose. These messages might include something that someone said to you, or a previously deleted chat, or might just want to glance through it again to make an important conclusion. However many or specific your reasons might be, the solution is still the same.
Step 1: Locate the file manager or explorer on your device. It is suggested that the regular file manager should not be used, as it is not very specialized. A third party application is more useful here, for example, the ES file explorer. It can be downloaded from here.
Step 2: Once you have accessed the file explorer, continue to your default storage location, either the SD card, or Internal Storage.
Step 3: Next, tap the folder Named 'Android' and go to data.
Step 4: Now, go to the folder named 'Applications' and scroll till you find the com.facebook.orca folder. Tap on it to open.
Step 5: Next, enter the cache folder, where you'll find a sub-folder named fb_temp. Copy this folder. If you can't find the option to copy, tap and hold. Copy it to any folder of your choice.
Step 6: Now, you may uninstall the Messenger app from your phone, and then install it all over again. Ensure that you do not open it after installation or log in your Facebook account just yet.
Step-7: Go back to your file explorer and copy the fb_temp folder from wherever you pasted it. Follow the exact route that you followed earlier: Preferred Storage > Android > data > applications > com.facebook.orca > cache folder and then paste the fb_temp folder in 'Cache'.
Step 8: Next, open the Messenger app that you reinstalled and sign in with your Facebook account.
That's all that needs to be done. You'll be able to see, view and access your deleted messages now.
Step 1: With the aid of a Universal Serial Bus cable or USB cable, connect your tablet or smartphone to your computer device. Then locate the 'My Computer' folder on your Computer's file explorer.' My Computer' folder is synonymous with 'This PC', and the folder can be any of these depending on the Windows version you have installed.
Step 2: Next, click on your device on the file explorer. Select internal storage and click on it.
Step 3: Go to the folder named 'Android' and click on it. Continue to the 'data' folder.
Step 4: Go into the' applications' folder, where you'll find the 'com.facebook.orca' folder. Click on it.
Step 5: Continue to the folder named 'cache'. There, you'll find fb_temp. Copy it.
Step 6: Next, uninstall Facebook Messenger from your smartphone. Wait for uninstallation to be completed and then reinstall the app again. As usual, do not try to sign in to your account, but its best if you do not start the app at all.
Step 7: Follow through the same route you used earlier: Android > data > applications > com.facebook.orca > cache. Paste the fb_temp there.
Step 8: Open the reinstalled Facebook Messenger app and log in to your Facebook account.
From step 7, you may choose to continue the process in another way. When you get to cache, open the fb_temp file (if your computer has the capability). Then select the messages that you would like to be recovered, and paste.
Alternatively, if you are using/or use the website version, simply go to the Messages button, select more, and continue to Archived messages section to recover previous text that was deleted from Facebook Messenger.
That's it, you're all set. Every previously deleted message will now be displayed on your Messenger app which you can view anytime.
Orca is simply the codename used to represent the Facebook Messenger app or service on Android devices. The process that it uses to function smoothly is the com.facebook.orca process. This process could end abruptly or crash whenever there is a problem with, or interfering with it or any of its required files. When the crash occurs, a popup message comes up on your screen saying, 'the process com.facebook.orca has stopped unexpectedly'. This popup occurs also when any app or a technical problem such as low memory, affects the smooth running of Facebook or its Messenger app. It happens frequently in low-end phones that do not have enough RAM memory to smoothly run these bulky applications properly.
It is not hard to fix this problem; it is hassle free, as all that you or the user is to do here is two things in total, which will be outlined below in the following steps.
Step 1: On your Android device, open Settings.
Step 2: Look for the 'Applications' settings by scrolling down, or searching for it.
Step 3: Select 'All Apps'.
Step 4: Search for the Messenger app on the listed apps and tap. Select 'Clear all Data'.
Step 5: Also, go back to the 'All apps' list and select the Facebook app. Also select 'Clear all data'.
Step 6: You may restart your Android device, and open the Facebook app, and Messenger one after the other and use them as before, without any hitches.
One more way that this problem can be taken care of is to uninstall both Facebook and Messenger apps one after the other, and then reinstall them from the Google Play store.
And that's all that needs to be done, so you wouldn't feel troubled or intruded by that popup message anymore.
So this is all the necessary information you need to know on the com.facebook.orca service, process and folder, and the ways which it can benefit you.
