Frequently Asked Questions:
Q:
I’ve uninstalled an app that took up a huge amount of space, but I did not get
substantial free space after the process. Did I do something wrong?
A: After uninstalling an app, you should get the space taken by the app and its data. If this is not the case, try locating the cache folder on your phone using a file explorer and deleting the related files on folder. A few users have tried restarting their devices and got the space upon reboot.
