This has been relate since One UI 3.0 but Moderators don't give us any answer about this..
Some people just received One UI 3.1, I don't know if it's the samething... Do you have 3.1 ?

Hi Muz4mmil,

Please note that starting from Android 11, data access under the Android/data/package name is impossible due to a restriction of the new Android OS, so 3rd party app icons in a folder cannot be provided anymore.

As I remembered, this is Google decision. You can try connect to Computer. Access the folder from computer, copy data out and put them out of Android folder. You should able to see the data again.

I mean move your data out of Android folder. Like SD Card or internal storage → Documents. See my screenshot.
