Clearing app cache android

How (and when) to clear app cache or data on Android

Every Android smartphone has an application manager that you can get to through the settings menu. It’s usually in the top-level somewhere, though it can vary a little by phone. But once you get to it, you’re at the heart of the matter. This area is where you can see every application that’s installed on your phone or tablet. And it’s a handy place to clean things up a bit should they go wonky.

The app cache (and how to clear it)

As you use applications, they start storing files to reference later. These files are stored in an app «cache.» For instance: When you’re using a web browser, it’ll save images you’ve seen so that they don’t have to be downloaded every single time the app needs them. This cache saves you time and data.

But maybe you want to clear an app’s cached data, either to regain some used space or to try to fix a misbehaving app. This method is how you can do it.

Open the Settings of your phone.

Tap the Storage heading to open its settings page.

• If your phone runs Android Oreo or earlier, you’ll want to open the App Manager settings page.

Find the application you want to clear the cache of and tap its listing.

This is our top pick for anyone looking to get started with a VPN. It offers a great mix of speed, reliability, outstanding customer service, and affordability. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, so give it a shot today.

The next time you use the app, it will download everything it needs from the internet like it did the first time you used it. Clearing cached data does not clear other data like logins or saved games. This often fixes things, especially when an app pulls its content from a website that is always changing and adding more content. If you want to clear the storage completely, repeat these steps, and choose the Clear storage button in the final step. Warning: This will remove all of the app’s data, including usernames and passwords, game progress, etc.

Your phone might look different

All Android phones cache application data the same way, but some manufacturers offer separate tools to keep apps in check. We’re using the Pixel 4 in this guide, but your phone might be slightly different. Don’t worry, the basics are all the same, and this guide will work for your phone, too!

How to clear the cache on your Android phone to make it run faster

Your apps and web browser store bits of information to speed up your experience using them.

Over time, your phone may collect a lot of files you don’t really need. You can clear out the files to free up a little storage space on your device. Clearing cache can also help with website behavior issues.

Clearing browser cache and app cache from an Android phone is a quick and easy process.

Here’s a short guide on how to do both.

Clear cache in the Chrome app (the default Android web browser)

1. Open the Chrome app on your device.

2. Tap the three-dot icon, found at the top right, to open a dropdown menu.

3. Tap History , then Clear browsing data .

4. If desired, select the oldest date you would like cleared using the Time Range dropdown menu.

5. Select Cached images and files .

6. Tap the Clear data button to clear cache.

Clear cache from third-party apps

App cache is similar to browser cache. It’s small bits of information stored to speed up your experience using an app. However, there may be times when an app suddenly closes or stops responding all together. Problems with cached data could be the culprit.

Clearing cache is a quick and easy way to free up space and (hopefully) fix a misbehaving app. Clearing app cache will not delete app data like account information.

Here’s how to clear app cache:

1. Go to the Settings menu on your device.

2. Tap Storage .

3. Tap Internal Storage under Device Storage.

4. Tap Cached data .

5. Tap OK when a dialog box appears asking if you’re sure you want to clear all app cache.

Clearing app cache will not delete app data like account information. App data, like account information, can be deleted from the same menu — proceed with caution if you decide to do so.

Note: Phones without SD card storage will not be given a choice to select between internal storage or SD card as shown in the above screenshots.

How often you should clear cache

You may find it helpful to clear cache periodically, but a regular cache clearing schedule isn’t required. If you find you’re routinely clearing cache to free up space, you may consider removing unused apps or archiving stored video and photos in the cloud. Installing a high volume microSD card is another option to address phone storage needs.

How to Clear Cache Data on Your Android

Android running slowly? Clearing the cache should speed things up

What to Know

• Go to Settings >Apps. Tap and app, then tap Storage >Clear Cache.
• Recent Android versions no longer offer the ability to clear the device’s entire cache at once.
• Pre-Oreo: Tap Settings >Storage >Devices (or similar) >Cached data >Clear cached data >OK.

This article explains how to wipe cached data for individual apps in Android versions 8 and later. Earlier versions offer the ability to wipe the phone’s entire cache at once, instructions for which are also included.

How to Wipe an App’s Cache Data

Here’s how to clear data for an app you know (or suspect) is causing problems or using up data.

Open Settings > Apps.

Select the app whose cache you want to clear.

The amount of storage space each app uses displays below the name of the app.

Tap Storage.

Tap Clear Cache to clear the app cache. Tap Clear Data to erase the data associated with the app.

Clearing the cache deletes temporary files the app uses while it’s running. Clearing data deletes settings, passwords, and other information you added and resets the app to its defaults.

How Clearing an App’s Cache Can Help

The cache contains temporary files that are used to speed up the app. Sometimes, though, they’re too much of a good thing. They might be duplicated and stored permanently elsewhere, be outdated, or be corrupted. All of this can cause the app to behave erratically or crash.

Clearing the cache can solve these problems, and it’s generally a key step in troubleshooting problems with your device.

Frequent Cache Culprits

Often, you’ll know which app is acting up simply by its behavior. If this isn’t the case, start your cache-clearing with the browser, then move onto social media apps such as Facebook and Twitter. Turn next to other apps that access the internet, and then to those that take up the most overall space.

Clearing a cache is a temporary method to gain storage space. As you use an app, it will build up a new cache of temporary files.

On Pre-Oreo Android: Clearing the Entire Phone’s Cache at Once

Before the release of Oreo (Android version 8), the easiest way to deal with the device cache was to delete it all at once. However, Google removed this feature in newer versions.

If you’re still running an old version, here’s how to delete the entire device cache:

Open Settings.

Tap Device > Storage.

Tap Cached data. Android calculates where the device storage is being used (apps, photos, or other places) and how much you will reclaim. When prompted, confirm your choice.

Clearing the cache data does not erase any personal information or important data.
