Edge takes 1.6GB of space - Windows 10 Mobile

Edge takes up too much space. "Clear browsing data" does nothing and I cannot uninstall it so every time there is an update I have to uninstall every app on the phone to be able to install the update. Only solution is to do a reset of a phone, I did it once and now it seems like I'll have to do it again if I don't find workaround.
It seems like "Clear browsing data" is not doing the proper job and it can't delete some cached data or something like that. Is there way to delete those files manually somehow ?

Hey man its a website for hacking and deployment it's not a windows phone Q&A but you can try app data manage tool it will help you to reset edge

Yeah sorry but I don't think anyone else would give me an answer to such question...it's not like I asked how to do a basic thing.
Thanks for the link though, I might try that.

I can't post ss because I'm new to the forum, I need 10 posts to post outside links and I cannot attach it either but there is not much to see, when I go to advanced options I get "App add-ons & downloadable content" and it's empty..."There are no add-ons currently installed for this app".

Here?

Nevermind. Keep trying to clear edge cache.

Go to "Clear Browsing Data" and select all the choices that are available there and press "Clear"
If this didn't help, I recommend you to hard reset your phone, if you'll, don't forget to backup your data before.

Why don't you try to uninstall it with interop tools and then download and install again?

Ok I found it but it cannot be uninstalled unfortunately.

You can uninstall oem apps with interop, there's another way to do it "manually", you have to enter your phone with full system access and delete the app, there are a few guides in this forum on how to do that. What build of w10 are you in? if you are in RS2 there's a new option for that, you can reset the app and clear the data with the reset button.

When I try to uninstall it from interop it starts "Fetching information for packages" and when it finishes literally nothing happens Edge is still there.
Im on 10.0.14393.1066, I don't have that feature, someone already proposed that.

[Q] App icons and Home screen downloads.

Hi All, I'm a newbie to my device and busy getting to know it and in general find it very easy.
However i have done something, as when i now download apps from playstore they are not appearing in the app page with an icon although they are downloaded. Also when i download the app it states that a shortcut has been created to my homepage (which is not full) but is not there.
The same is happening when i want to make shortcuts to my homepage for web pages.
Can any one help wit a fix.

I would just make sure youve synced everything with google and then do a factory reset through the settings menu pal.

Checked all my google settings and they all seem okay, don't want to be as drastic as a reset as i can still find them by going to files. But will still keep trying to resolve it.

How to uninstall app`?

Can somebody help me uninstalling an app (dragon mania legends). I can not tap - uninstall, cause its not highlighted. I want to do, because the update failed. So maybe someone here know, how I can delete all pieces of the destroyed app, or know the path of the installed game C:\...
It happened to me also. Reset is the only way to fix this, or you can just ignore it.
Same here,dragon mania legends and barn story can't update or uninstall (0x80246008 and 0x80073cf9)

Same problem with the game "march of empires" ! What i've to do after deploying Test.xap? Have to run it ?
No, let me change it first
I've been able to duplicate uninstalling these broken apps by doing this:
1st: Install a new app or an app update.
2nd: While this new app is updating/installing pause the broken app.
3rd: Go to your app menu and you can now select uninstall.
It takes a few tries to make it do this but it will work. As far as I know your only other option is a hard reset.
Install it and delete, the game will be also removed.

Try browsing through the Playstore on your browser and if you click on something it'll try to open it through the app. Otherwise not sure what it could be.. Maybe network related like a firewall or "antivirus" app blocking it?
Worst case scenario is to do a factory reset

Go to settings apps and find play store. Then delete cache and uninstall updates of the play store. Reboot and try again.

Updater not showing in settings

Using star2lte: lineage-17.1-20210121-nightly-star2lte.
It's only a minor problem because I can always do adb sideload but I'm sure is was there at one time. I can see the updater in the apps but I can't see any way of running it, also new updates are not announced.
Is there any way of getting the updater to run again?

Nice. I can reproduce this picture with disabling updater app.
Ok, that's interesting. How did you disable it, or more appropriately how to you re-enable it? It's possible I may have disabled it by accident.
I've just checked under Apps, and it's is enabled, weird.
Thanks.

Settings apps all threedotmenu system
Just tried that. For good measure I also stopped the app, cleared cache and data and then enabled the app. After that I restarted the phone. And it's still missing in settings!

Updater keeps stopping, I guess that's the reason it doesn't show. The question is: why does it keep stopping?
