Phone Cache HowTo

Every Android phone uses the temporary data stored in cache files to more quickly recall the associated information when you open an app.

In most cases, once an app decides the stored temporary information is no longer useful, it discards the accompanying cache files. Websites, apps, and games all make use of cache files to offer you a quicker browsing experience.

Usually, cache files work invisibly and continuously in the background. They make your phone work faster so you can browse more efficiently.

That is why it's not a good idea to constantly delete old cache files by hand. Android already has a built-in mechanism for erasing unused files that usually works pretty well.

This guide can help you if:

- An app's cache files are corrupted, causing the app to misbehave.

- You want to delete files containing personal information to protect your privacy.

- You're running out of storage space on your phone and don't want to delete your videos, pictures, and apps.
