Does anybody know what these apps are? They are ising a **bleep** lot of data and do not even list in the apps section  to be disabled or their data usage to be cut off.

Is anybody here facing the same problem?
Device- M30s

Edit: I installed the malwarebytes app just now to check for any threats in my device, and the '10216'
Turned into malwarebytes, with nearly the same (slightly increased) data usage. Also, I had never installed malwarebytes before, not even any other antivirus app.

Also, the '10216' is changed to '10246' ( it didnt exist before I installed malwarebytes), with 17 mb data usage.

removed apps are that apps that you have uninstalled. I don't know about the app named 10216😔

wait, that means uninstalled apps are still using data in gbs in the background, that does not make any sense🤔🤔
Also, if these are some residual processes of the uninstalled apps that are using data, there should be any way to disable it.

Removed apps are those which are uninstalled by the user and the other app 10216 is very much exciting and can't predict which app is that. Have you ever installed any app as APK downloaded from browser. Bcoz some times apps crashes and their icon will be replaced with Android symbol....

ofcourse it's necessary to tally the data used within the month...
But won't show specifically which apps they are...

But the thing is
yesterday, the data usage of these so called Removed apps was 1 gb.
Now, I havent uninstalled any app since yesterday, but still the 'Removed apps' show increased data usage, that means they were running in the nackground in some way, consuming data
