Safari app size more than 400MB

[gaanee]

Safari is showing to be taking up more than 400MB under Settings -> Storage. I have cleared web site data and history but still no reduction in app size.
Safari wasn't taking up this much space just a few days ago and I haven't used Safari much either.
What else should I check or clear?

Reading list is the biggest contributor to my safari storage

 

[gaanee]

iPhone 5S with 11.2.2
No reading list saved.. have only a few bookmarks in Favorites.

When I check Storage under Settings, it shows ~450MB under Documents and Data.. below that website data, history and others are zero and I can't check what's in Documents and Data.

I barely do any browsing on the phone, so that's why it's surprising where this 450MB got accumulated from in the past few days.

do you have a lot of bookmarks?thats seems so low

How much space do bookmarks take? Shouldn't be much.. because it's only saving links not the web page itself.
Even then, I have only 10-12 bookmarks.

I have 45 bookmarks, nothing in my reading list, and I clear history & website data almost once a day.
