Why is my Galaxy S6 using so much data on removed aps and users in background?

[AC Question]

My data usage has doubled in the last 30 days and I'm not using the phone or texting any more than before. I've had the phone for about 8 months and I've had to up the ante on my data twice in the last month. I deleted off some games and aps that I thought were causing the problem but, that didn't work. Help!

Welcome to Android Central! Deleted apps can't continue using data--you're just seeing the report of how much data those apps used before you deleted them. If you deleted a few apps, then the data they used will be consolidated in the Data Usage menu, and seem like a lot--but you have to remember that it represents usage by multiple apps.
