I have an A53, running Android 13. I’ve recently noticed that if I uninstall an app and the reinstall it, it still has login credentials. That leads me to believe that uninstall isn’t really deleting all the associated data.

How do I truly purge all the data from these apps from my phone?

I tried to Google the issue, but all the answers wanted me to download additional software, which seems antithetical to my goal.

(Please keep it simple; I’m not so good with tech.)

    The login credentials are likely saved without your Google Account, not something the apps are leaving behind. You could test it by removing your Google account from your phone, signing in with a temp Google account. And then installing those apps again, and seeing if the login credentials are still there.
