Power off your phone and use a dry cloth to clean it. After that, gently shake your phone to remove any excess moisture from the charging port. You can also use a blower to blow out any water from the charging port. Then, place your phone in a well-ventilated area to let it dry for some time.
If you’re getting the moisture detected error even after your phone is dry, clear the USB cache data from your phone to get rid of the water drop icon while charging. Here’s how to do it.
1. Open the Settings app on your phone and navigate to Apps.
2. Tap the Filter and sort icon and enable the Show system apps option.
3. Scroll down to tap on USBSettings.
4. Go to Storage and tap the Clear cache option in the bottom right corner.
Once cleared, try charging your phone again to see if it works.
You can also try • disabling fast charging • signing out and signing in your samsung account (Oddly enough, users on the Samsung forum reported that this method helped remove the moisture detected error for good. You can also give it a go.)

After numerous attempts to restore your device so that it can charge properly, we really know where your frustration is coming from. But don't worry, we are here to help, guide you, provide quick fixes and offer solutions to your device's problems.
Both, we will figure out what's behind the issue/s and other possible reasons and come up with the solutions by following below steps.
A) First, ensure that your device is up-to-date with the latest Software updates.
Settings > About Phone > Software Updates > Download and Install > Follow On-screen notifications.
B) Samsung Galaxy phones will not charge if moisture is present in the charging port when it is plugged in. This is a preventative measure added to avoid corrosion. You will still be able to charge with a wireless charger. A popup message will display in the event a charger is plugged in while moisture is present in the charging port.
Most moisture will evaporate by itself within a few hours, but you can also try blowing gently on the port or exposing it to cool dry air. If the waterdrop icon has still not disappeared but you are sure the charging port is dry, try turning your device off and on again.
If the icon remains after this, clear the cache for USB:
Step 1. Go to Settings > tap Apps.
Step 2. Tap the More options (three vertical dots) icon > tap Show system apps.
Step 3. Scroll down, then tap USB Settings.
Step 4. Tap Storage >tap Clear data and Clear cache.
Warning: To avoid electric shock and damage to your phone, do not charge the phone while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle the phone, charger, or cords with wet hands while charging. Do not insert any object into the charging port. This can result in damage to the charging port.
F) Disable Fast Charging: Disabling fast charging can make moisture detected warning on your Samsung Galaxy device go away. The steps to reach the setting differs depending on the software version.
Go to Settings> Device maintenance > Battery > 3-Dot icon > Advanced settings > Fast charging and turn it off.
Go to Settings> Device care > Battery > Charging and disable Fast charging.
