Regular device users with Androidem probably know what brand their phone is as well as what operating system they are using. But they probably won't know its rules anymore, like how to clear its cache and why they should actually do it. At the same time, you will free up storage space and speed up your device. 

What is a cache? 

Apps on your device temporarily download some files, either when you first start it or when you continue to use it. These files can include images, videos, scripts, and other multimedia. It's not just about apps, because the web also uses the device's cache in abundance. Of course, this is done to reduce the loading time and also to improve the performance of the device. Because temporary files are already stored on the device, an app or web page can load and run faster. For example, websites cache visual elements so they don't have to be downloaded every time you visit the site. This helps to save your time and mobile data.

Why is it good to clear the cache? 

You might be surprised to know that these temporary files can take up gigabytes of your device's storage space. Additionally, if you're using some of Samsung's latest devices that no longer have a microSD slot, you may soon miss this spot. Mid-range or low-end devices that are not among the top performers may then start to slow down when the cache is full. However, erasing it and freeing up space can get them in shape again. It also happens that sometimes apps and websites can become angry for some reason. Clearing the cache can easily fix these issues. Plus, this action isn't something you have to do every day. Once every few weeks is enough, and only for the most used applications. 

How to clear cache Androidu 

  • Find the icon of the app you want to clear cache. 
  • Hold your finger on it for a long time. 
  • At the top right, select the symbol "i". 
  • Scroll down and tap on the menu Storage. 
  • Click on Clear memory in the lower right corner to delete all temporary files stored by the application 

So you can use a similar procedure to clear the caches of all the apps on your device. Web browsers may be an exception. These usually have a clear cache menu in their own settings. So if you are using Google Chrome, for example, select the three dots menu at the top right of the interface, select the menu History and select here Clear browsing data. Chrome will also ask you how long it should focus on, so it's a good idea to enter it Since the beginning of time. Also make sure the option is selected Cached images and files. You confirm everything by choosing Clear data.

The cache has nothing to do with your data. So if you delete it on Facebook, you won't lose any posts, comments or photos. Likewise, all data stored in your device will remain intact. Therefore, only temporary files are deleted, which are gradually restored as the device is used.
