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.

As long as they are not sucking any data, it isnt a problem. But on my device it showed increased data usage even when i did not uninstall any more of apps, do look for it.

You are right as long as they are not using date ,it will be no problem .I recently uninstall some games on Saturday,from then I didn't uninstall any games or app,but don't know why my data usage increases.
plus yesterday when I scanned my device I found two residue files of deleted apps and when I again scanned the files didn't show up. I made a post regarding this issue.

whenever going to uninstall any app of your phone, plz go to settings and from app option, open it and then uninstall those app, because most of the time, cache files remains in the phone, after uninstalling the particular app

Bro, jaha tak.mujhe pata hai ki..jab aap app install karte hai se lekar app usage tak aur unistall karne tak ye data store hote hai..yehi kaaran hai..That's why it is advisable to clear data of those apps before uninstallation..
