Description

What version of Keepass2Android are you using?
1.12-r5

Android system settings -> Memory says, that my Keepass2Android makes use of 9,6GB of space for user data - wow.

Is that a known situation?

I use this app for several years on this device (Fairphone 3 with e/OS/ ), so many app versions involved.

Cleaning up the user data from the Android settings screen solved this, app still works fine (needed to set up some basic app settings, but that's ok).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android settings report on Keepass2Android 1.12-r5, especially on a long-lived Fairphone 3 with e/OS/. Inspect what user data accumulates and compare it with a freshly configured installation; done means identifying the cause of the 9.6 GB usage and defining a verified way to prevent or safely clean it.
