Does uninstalling an Android app also delete its cache and stored data?

On Android, uninstalling an app normally removes its cache and internal app data automatically, so there usually isn’t anything else you need to clear afterward. Uninstalling Spotify also doesn’t delete your Spotify account. Its offline downloads are generally removed with the app, although files saved separately in shared storage could remain.

If you want to check, open Settings > Storage and look through the categories, or use the Files app to search for folders associated with the old app. You can also check Settings > Apps to confirm the app is no longer installed. Android may offer a “keep app data” option during uninstall, but unless you selected that, the app’s normal data and cache should be gone.

Some apps store downloads outside their private app folder, so uninstalling cannot always remove every leftover file. If your phone’s free space did not increase, check Downloads, Music, or other shared-storage folders and remove only files you recognize. Don’t delete random Android system folders.
