Technical Observation: Massive Data Bloat after Rollout (33 GB)

I am opening this thread to share an important observation regarding game performance following the recent rollout.

After the update, I experienced severe lagging. Upon checking my tablet’s storage settings, I found that the App Data (not the cache) had increased to a staggering 33 GB.

Solution found:

I performed a full uninstallation and a clean reinstall. The app data is now back to 360 MB, and  the game runs smoothly again.

This suggests that the new rollout might have a bug in how it handles or downloads data assets, leading to this extreme storage consumption. A simple cache-clear does not solve this.

I would highly recommend that the technical team looks into this data management issue. In the meantime, I suggest other players check their total storage usage if they encounter similar performance problems.

Thank you for lookingI into this!

    The app data does build up over time. Every image that is ever shown on screen sits in your app data. This is especially impactful if you do a lot of DC voting. 

    I've got into the habit of deleting app data every two seasons or so. Seems to keep things running smoothly.

    A quick follow-up: I realized that for over a year, I never received an in-game  prompt to update via the Play Store, nor did I feel the need to check for updates manually because the game always ran without issues.

    It seems the app was updating itself entirely in the background all this time. I  suspect that this long period of background-only updates led to a massive buildup of data that was never properly cleaned up, eventually resulting in the 33 GB of 'data garbage' I found after the latest rollout. This might be a key factor for the technical team to investigate.
