Background Data Use -Removed Apps

[Nic Bolken]

Looking at my Data "removed apps and users" is using the most data and its all back ground data. There's no app to go to or uninstall so I can't figure out how to stop it. Any ideas?

Also, I uninstalled an app (Floating Stickies) but whenever I turn my phone on it starts up even though its not listed as one of my apps any more. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Hello Nic, welcome to the forums!

The "removed apps and users" in your data usage means exactly that. It's data that was used by an app that you uninstalled in the middle of the cycle selected in your data usage settings. The same if you created a new account and then remove it.

About that app, can't you find it in your settings - apps - all tab? If not search for it in the Play Store and see if you can uninstall it from there.

Ok, so they are not currently using data, they just have in the past?

Yes, that's correct. It reflects the data used during that cycle before being uninstalled.
