Sync Not Working After Reinstall Until Cache or Data Is Cleared Again?

Sync doesn’t work — even after reinstall.

But the moment you clear cache, everything works.

It can feel like nothing is fixing the issue.

But this isn’t random.

What’s Actually Happening

The app looks clean after reinstall.

But it isn’t fully reset.

Old data is still interfering in the background.

So sync cannot start properly.

Clearing cache removes temporary files.

Clearing app data resets everything locally.

This removes the hidden conflict.

And allows sync to start fresh.

Reinstall doesn’t always remove everything.

Some data can remain at the system level.

This creates a mismatch between old and new data.

So the app fails to sync correctly.

It feels inconsistent.

But the issue is local, not server-side.

Clear cache or app data once more.

This forces a completely clean state.

Clearing data may log you out.

Make sure you know your account details.

Your sync didn’t fail.

Old local data was interfering.

Clearing cache or data removes the conflict.
