Where Is Samsung Internet Data Stored?
Samsung Internet keeps private browsing data in internal app storage and user saved files in shared storage. Private storage requires root for direct file access.
Last updated
Samsung Internet on Android uses package name com.sec.android.app.sbrowser. Cookies, history, cache and Secret Mode data live in that private directory.
Downloads and saved pages that the user explicitly saves appear in shared storage. App settings provide Delete browsing data and Clear cache without file access.
Where Samsung Internet stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser
Private internal storage. Root access is required to list it. The app sets allowBackup to false, so adb backup cannot copy it. Clear it from app Settings or Android Settings Apps Storage.
/storage/emulated/0/Download
Shared storage for completed downloads. No root is required. The exact folder name can differ by device and by the download location set in Samsung Internet Settings.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I not see com.sec.android.app.sbrowser in Android/data?
The live data is under /data/data, not shared storage. Android blocks that path without root. Use the in app Delete browsing data control instead.
How do I clear cache without root?
Open Samsung Internet, tap Menu, tap Settings, tap Personal browsing data, tap Delete browsing data, select Cached images and files, then confirm.
