Dump file on Android phone memory that never gets erased is created by Spotify.

I have a problem with Sony Xperia L combined with Spotify. These two aren't a good match.

 

Originally it was all fine, but at some point my phone started to collect a lot of memory (around early august) and the only thing to do is to do a system reset, but after doing that every forth day or so I had the phone sent to Sony repair center, they installed a new version of Android, but no change.

 

The revelation was when I saw in a forum that the problem was with Spotify and I've tried it out. When I don't use Spotify the phone memory is at the same level. Then I listen to Spotify (regardless of stored playlists or streaming, or how I exit Spotify) 50 MB - 100 MB of the phone memory is irreversible used up, not right away, but after about 30 minutes to 1 hour. It's like Spotify keeps running and saves alot of data during this time...and the only way to lose it is to do a system reset (then everything is lost obviously).
 It's horribly annoying - the choices are to not use Spotify or .. no, that's the only choice.

 

Now please - what have you done?  ..Can you post a link to a previous version of Spotify, from like July or something, when it worked perfectly, then I'd be happy?

 

..Or even better, fix this bug asap!  (the link being a temporary and quick solution).

 

I'm not sure if this might have anything to do with Xperia L having a phone memory, an internal memory (two partitions) and then a SD card-slot too.

 

Thank you in advance!
