A similar question passed by on Google Groups quite a while ago and as far as I understood, there's not a single method that will fully prevent a user from deleting the data stored. If you think about it, it actually wouldn't make sense to provide a way to fill up a device's (internal) storage without the user being able to free up that space again.

That being said, your options for storing semi-persistant data that does not get wiped out when an app is being uninstalled seem to be limited to either the SD card, some web-based location or a seperate content provider - each with its own limitations.

You might also want to read through Google's documentation on this.

You can save it to a folder and if app is reinstalled, load it from there.
