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?

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.

Only 30.4 MB on my iPhone X.

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.
