Ohhhh sa mga nasasusubrahan sa freenet jan at humihina na etoh solosyun

Android comes with a handy feature called — ‘Data Usage‘ that keeps the track of how much mobile data you have used. But the strange thing is, there is no option to clear that data usage stats.So let’s see how to fix this.
But first, why clear the data usage? Well, there are several reasons to do that. Like, last month I was out on a vacation and did several data recharges within a week. However, since the usage stats adds all the bandwidth, there is no easy way to tell, how much data I used since my last recharge.
So, how to you clear your data usage?

Well, unfortunately, you can clear data usage only on a rooted device. But, if your phone is not rooted, then there is a workaround for that as well. We’ll come to that later. First, let’s see how to clear data usage if you have root access.
For Root Users

Start by opening your file explorer (if you don’t have any, install ES file explorer) and then go to /data/system/netstats. Under the netstats folder, delete all files and reboot your device. This will clear everything under ‘data usage’.
