S3 & Android 4.3, constant phantom download notifications

[hilerm]

I upgraded my S3 a couple of days ago and have noticed an irritating problem every since completing the upgrade.  I keep getting repeated "phantom" download notifications for an image I initially download many months ago.  I have since deleted the image, but the notifications continue, sometimes as rapid as 3 or 4 within a few seconds.  I don't know if this problem is actually eating any of my data usage yet.

Where can customers provide official feedback to responsible parties about adverse problems with a software upgrade?

To get rid of the phantom downloads, go to the downloads app and clear everything out. If that doesn't work, go to settings > more  > application manager > swipe over to all > scroll down to download manager and hit clear cache.  This should do the trick for you.

Thanks for the info. I gave it a try and was hopeful...until the phantom notification once again appeared.

Went through your suggestion one more time and discovered item still in Download App data. Cleared that and I haven't had a phantom for over an hour. I think it is gone.
Thnx.

Thnx Mariana.
I tried what 'phm5362' suggested and it appears to have solved the problem.
