Re: Data Usage

Removed apps should be from apps that you removed. Perhaps you forgot about it or something

Re: Data Usage

Could that be how your device accounts for the data used in the billing cycle before you first booted the Note 4? removed apps might mean "data used prior that I don't know how to name"

It's not the data used while removing them, it's the data used by apps that you have removed. For example, if you installed Spotify, streamed music for a few hours, then removed Spotify, that data used while you were streaming with Spotify would be added to the Removed Apps pool.
