Cached data helps your phone load applications faster. Moreover, it keeps temporary files stored on your phone. But they can quickly fill up your phone’s storage. To clear cache, you should make sure that your application has not stored any non-essential data. Some apps are smart enough to monitor cache data for their own reasons. For example, Spotify regularly clears quick-loading cache for albums. But it keeps core functions intact.
To clear cache, go to Settings > Storage>Caches. This option will let you clear the cache on Android. You’ll need to have the root access to your Android device. This will allow you to access the files you need. To delete a cache, tap and hold the app icon for 10 seconds. If you’re lucky, the app will remove the cached files from your device. You can also clear the cache by holding down the Alt key.
