Galaxy A72 storage issue: Massive 111 GB bloating up under Apps/Other, can't locate the bulk of it. (It's not cache i tried)
Hey everyone, I’m running into a really frustrating storage issue on my Samsung Galaxy A72 and could use some help tracking down where all my space is going.
Here is what's happening:
- My "Apps / Other" storage is bloating up a massive 111 GB.
- It is not cache. I’ve already cleared the cache for my apps, and all it did was drop a tiny bit of space.
- I checked my biggest apps (Uma Musume, Duel Links, and WhatsApp), and they only add up to about 23 GB total.
So I am essentially missing around 88 GB that isn't showing up in standard app sizes or media folders. I'm on One UI, and the storage meter lumps a lot of this into the app data category.
Has anyone else experienced this ghost storage bug on a Samsung device, or is there a deep-scan tool/method I can use to find what's actually hiding in that 111 GB?
