4.) In our own case, there are 4 different folders inside the "video" folder, in yours you may find more. Nevertheless, it is very important to let you understand that each folder in the "video" folder represent each video you enjoy on Facebook Lite. As you can see, the folders are called in random letters that appears like jargons.

Please Note: The "0000000000000000" doesn't show as video file when view by file supervisor since it does not have a video extension (e.g.MP4, AVI e.t.c).
