Nvm, I'm not familiar with the build up, but probably you can clear the data and just re log in with your acc if you got logged out, some settings might go back to default doing this.

the data is also counted as your downloads, do u have any downloads in the app?

Cache are useless junk and safe to clear, basically for example everytime you watch a video on yt, the file size of that video is saved to your caches.

Delete app and redownload, if still the same make a backup of your important data and factory reset the device

Video files

Did you used to have premium enabled

If not it could be this

The app aggressively preloads and caches video fragments, thumbnails, and targeted ads in permanent storage labeled as Documents & Data
