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.)
My only guess is that while you’ve deleted the app data, login credentials are still saved through either a Google or Samsung service. Or perhaps the phones is not removing the cache for those apps.
Go to chrome to the settings menu>security(?)>passwords to check Google saved passwords.
Samsung I think uses an app called Samsung Pass idk I don’t use it on my S21 FE.
If it’s that last, I guess clear system cache? Hard to clear cache for an app you no longer have. Maybe clear before uninstall? Would be in the app info menu for the specific app.
