A few weeks ago, my storage was at 85 GB out of 128 GB, so I wanted to free up some space to make room for new apps and files. So, I deleted some old apps that I don't use and some unnecessary files. Yesterday, I was looking at my storage again, and it was back at 85 GB. I checked what was taking up the storage, and it was the Galaxy Store taking up 7 GB. I thought this was strange because it didn't use to take up that much space. Also, why would the Galaxy Store take up so much storage but not the Google Play Store? Can someone please help me reduce the size of the Galaxy Store?

I don't understand why it's taking up so much space on your phone. I have the S24U. The Galaxy Store only takes up 101MB of storage on mine. But 7 gigs?! Something is def wrong. I just wish I knew how to help.

Turn off RAM Plus by going into device care > memory. Ram plus has the potential to cause storage errors within your phone's SSD. Additionally, after disabling the feature, turn off the device. While off, press + hold power and volume up buttons until the Samsung logo disappears. Using volume keys, highlight Wipe cache partition, and then power to select and confirm on the following screen.
