Comment Comment by martin_a Looks like fighting the symptoms, not taking care of the root causes.There's probably so much bloat in frameworks, (illegal) telemetry and whatnot under the hood of those apps that should be tackled.For example: Why is the the Amazon app 229 MB heavy? 195 MB is the app itself, then there's ~61 MB of "data" and only ~26,5 MB of cache.It's a website, nothing more. How can it take 200+ MB of space? It's sick.edit: How does Android even calculate those numbers? They don't add up at all...edit2: see this recent post for reference: "I shaved 187MB off United Airlines' 439MB iOS app" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30442529 parent martin_a 4 years ago
