Why is it that it takes my phone almost an hour to download 6GB worth of data for an app, but upon deleting the app, it only requires less than 10 seconds to wipe all the data in the app from my phone? By deleting the app from the phone, I mean deleting the app from the home page. Thanks in advance!

* Downloading = putting everything in a specific place in memory byte-by-byte, and then adding it to the list of things in memory.
* Deleting = removing it from the list.
* Deleting doesn’t remove it from memory byte-by-byte.
* But by removing it from the list, the device knows it can just write over the old data with new data when it needs to.
