Hello tadiwa16,


You are correct. I also read up on this subject and came to a conclusion that you have to delete and reinstall the Telegram app to completely reclaim the storage space claimed by cache and storage. Offloading and installing the app does not help either.


I recommend that you contact Telegram support and provide a product feedback so that the developer can review and resolve this concern. You can contact Telegram support here 👉 Telegram Messenger Support.
