Why is Spotify using so much storage on my phone?

I'm really puzzled about why Spotify is taking up a whopping 26GB of storage on my phone. I don't have that many songs downloaded, and I can't even move the app to my SD card. Can anyone explain what's going on?

You might want to check your settings. Spotify can automatically store files offline, which could be taking up more space than you realize. You can usually clear your cache from there too.

If you're still having issues, go to Settings > Data-saving and offline > Clear cache. That should help free up a lot of space, though the cache will rebuild as you use the app.

Make sure to check for offline playlists, as Spotify tends to download songs without your notice. Clearing those out could help free up some space!

Spotify caches everything you listen to, so if you have songs on repeat, they’re stored on your device instead of being streamed from the cloud. This helps Spotify save on data costs. When you download a song, it just marks it as downloaded without removing anything from the cache, which can eat up a lot of space. I’m not sure why you can’t move it to an SD card, though.

Have you tried clearing the cache or reinstalling the app? Also, keep in mind that you cannot move most apps, including Spotify, to the SD card.
