Confirmed

The cleaner app is, or at least was last winter, a 3rd party app by "Cheeta", not made by Xiaomi.

It wanted to upload my whole file structure to its cloud somewhere, for analysis or something.

Cheeta were known for propagating adware and other such stuff.

Anyway, I disabled it then with no ill effects, and it remains disabled (as of EU 9.8.15).

I updated my cleaner app with aptoide and now it's working fine.

You updated to a China Cleaner. Facebook and Whatsapp cleaners won't work for you.

They FC before. Now they don't FC but they don't search for items. You are correct
