This has been written up on a few occasions, including me on this thread. The Android Market apparently caches market-related information (e.g., icons and descriptions). This cache is not proactively released. However, when free storage space drops far enough, the Market will free up the cache. The core Android team has indicated that they need to try to free up that cache more proactively. The Market has nothing to do with what apps you have installed or uninstalled, AFAIK, so uninstalling an app will not affect the Market size. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
