I have an A53, running Android 13. I’ve recently noticed that if I uninstall an app and the reinstall it, it still has login credentials. That leads me to believe that uninstall isn’t really deleting all the associated data.

How do I truly purge all the data from these apps from my phone?

I tried to Google the issue, but all the answers wanted me to download additional software, which seems antithetical to my goal.

(Please keep it simple; I’m not so good with tech.)

    it depends per app, some store it as a file (that’s rather hard to delete if you don’t know where you’re looking for), but most apps probably use Google login. Google login can act almost seamless and will give you the idea the app keeps logged in.

      I appreciate your answer, but these weren’t Google login situations. The instances I noticed were for Lemmy and Reddit apps.

      Edit: I never used chrome for these, just DuckDuckGo, and I never saved credentials.
