Android Central Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime+ running Android 6.0.1.

For the last few months data consumption has increased from under 20GB/mo
to more than 90GB/mo. This has been through WiFi and has used up all
my internet monthly data quota (I am on a metered DSL data plan).
Data usage shows that "Removed apps" has used about 90GB the last month and all other apps combined have used less than 8GB.

I have installed/uninstalled a couple of apps but nothing as large as the above usage. Phone memory and SD cards are 4GB each and full.

Help !
 
Welcome to Android Central! Remember that Removed Apps aggregates the data used by all apps that you deleted during the current data cycle. As long as you don't uninstall more apps, that number shouldn't increase. If you do uninstall another app, the data that app used will be added to the Removed Apps listing.
