Downloading causeing app reboot

[Android Central Question]

So for couple of days now if I fr example try to save pic from imgur app, download pdf from chrome or update apps from play store that app will reboot in about 10 seconds and cancel the download altogether. I have no idea what could cause this currently pulling all files that I can find on the phone to cloud storage and heading for complete format of the phone but wanted to ask here before that if someone knows something.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? What do you mean that the app will reboot? Do you mean that the app suddenly closes in front of your eyes? Or does it coincide with the screen going to sleep?

I am using OnePlus 3, The app will freeze for about 10 sec and then phone will inform me that the app in unresponsive but at that same time the app becomes responsive again and restart and it will happen every time I do something that involves downloading something that is also true with screenshots.

Try wiping the cache partition: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/wipe-data-and-cache.639983/

Wiping the cache didn't help.

Go to Settings>Apps, then Menu>Show System, then Download Manager. Tap Storage, then Clear Cache/Clear Data. Does that do anything?

That did the thing, oh and on the side note it fix one of my other issues at the same time(clock app was doing funky stuff). Thanks. Do you happened to what causes the download manager to fail that badly?

Great! It's probably some bit of data that got corrupt in the app cache or data that was causing things to get hung up.
