Description

When using the "Remove metadata and save" option to remove metadata, the "data" used by the app increases until cleared using settings. This is the "data" section, not "cache", and persists even after the output files in Metadata Remover folder is deleted.

Tested in Android 10 on Galaxy S10, installed using Obtainium, Metadata Remover v3.0.0

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Android 10 using a Galaxy S10 and Metadata Remover v3.0.0 installed through Obtainium. Use “Remove metadata and save,” then compare the app’s data and cache usage after deleting files from the Metadata Remover folder. Done means repeated use no longer causes persistent growth in the data section.
