Sometimes simply deleting the app from your Android device is not enough... files and data can be left over which keeps you from working from a clean slate!

Fortunately, removing these lurking files is pretty simple: 

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Open Apps

  3. Select the app to uninstall

  4. Press Force Stop

  5. Press Storage

  6. Press Clear Cache

  7. Press Clear Data

  8. Return to the app screen

  9. Press Uninstall

That should get rid of most of the files, folders and caches created by the app and then remove the app itself!
