Over time, the cache of the apps on your Android device can accumulate and take up a lot of storage space. Clearing app cache can help free up space and potentially improve app performance. Here’s how to clear app cache on Android:
- Go to your device’s Settings: Open your device’s Settings app by tapping on the gear icon in your app drawer or by pulling down the notification shade and tapping on the gear icon there.
- Tap on “Apps”: In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Apps” (or “Applications” or “App Manager”, depending on your device).
- Select the app you want to clear cache for: Scroll through the list of apps until you find the app you want to clear cache for. Tap on the app to open its app info page.
- Tap on “Storage”: In the app info page, you’ll see some information about the app, including how much storage it’s using. Tap on “Storage”.
- Tap on “Clear Cache”: In the Storage menu, you’ll see an option to “Clear Cache”. Tap on that option to clear the app’s cache.
- Repeat for other apps: If you want to clear cache for other apps, simply repeat this process for each app you want to clear cache for.
Note: Clearing cache does not delete any of your app’s data, such as login information or saved preferences. It simply removes temporary files that are not needed anymore.
That’s it! You now know how to clear app cache on Android. By clearing app cache regularly, you can help keep your device running smoothly and free up valuable storage space.
