Whatsapp storage issue In my mobile (Android, Samsung Galaxy S9) the whatsapp is showing that it has 37.89GB of Data stored (when I checked the app info), due to that my phone is data is getting full and all the other apps are getting hanged due to less storage space left in my mobile phone and when I checked the whatsapp 'settings' -&gt; 'Data and storage usage' it shows only 195.1MB of data has been stored for whatsapp. So can you tell me from where the 37.89GB of data is being shown in app info on my phone?
Please Note: I don't want to delete my whatsapp and reinstall it to fix this issue because I dont wanna loose my whatsapp messages, and I can't take the backup also because there is no more space left on my mobile to take the backup.
Please guide me to fix this issue
Please find the screenshot for your reference


Thank you

The storage usage which you saw in the device settings page (App info), includes cached data too. Click on the Storage in the App info page of WhatsApp. There you will find a Clear cache button. Click on that.


Side note: WhatsApp's data storage information only shows the storage usage by multimedia and messages. Besides those things, WhatsApp also stores it's settings, multimedia that you have shared with others and downloaded statuses. So, you cannot rely much on the information which is shown as Storage usage in WhatsApp. If you want to know more about the real storage usage, open up a file manager and browse the WhatsApp folder inside the primary storage. See these screenshots and note the differences (114 MB vs 12 MB):
