Help Internet user data taking up a lot of disk space.

[Sync1211]

Hi there!
As you might already guessed by the title I have a slight problem with my Samsung Internet app;
Although the History, Cache, Cookies, Auto-Fills, Passwords, etc have been cleaned it still takes up over 800MB of space, most of it (about 700MB) being User Data.

I do have saved about 20 Bookmarks and I usually have about 14 Tabs open but it doesn't seem to increase if I close them.
Any Ideas on what that could be and how I can maybe free up that space without completely deleting my user data?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Android Forums @Sync1211!

Which phone do you have? I'm assuming you're rocking a Samsung device.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I'm using a SM-A310F / Galaxy A3 2016

I use the same app, but the BETA one..I recently was having the same issue and always keeping 20 different tabs Irene at once..

So I decided to uninstall and reinstall the very same app but this time just keep 2 or 3 open..that made big difference to me..

One more thing, keep in regard that you by "upgrading" the app it's gonna make your phone act like a dyslexic child..maybe that's what happened..I never downgrade my phone going to the newest versions ones I'm happy to the way my device is currently performing..my §5 is a Destroyer Beast.

Yeah but changing uninstalling the browser is not really an option because I don't want to loose my bookmarks. :/
