Cache memory has since the beginning of computing become one of the culprits when an application does not work well. In addition, when everything works correctly, no one remembers the importance of the cache in the operation of applications in general.
The cache is responsible for storing the data / images that they are usually always fixed on a web page or in an application, so that when it is opened, not all the content that it offers us is reloaded, but only the new content, if we talk about the browser. The same thing happens with applications. If when updating an application, it does not show the new functions, it is not enough to restart it, we have to clear the application cache.
As time passes, and as our device is configured to manage the amount of cache it can store, this takes up more and more space, even on occasions, occupy an important part of the internal storage of the device, a very important problem especially in devices with less storage space.
Individually, Android gives us the possibility of clear application cache individually, an option that allows us to quickly know if the malfunction is due to the application itself or the entire system. If after clearing the cache of a specific application, our system continues to work erratically, the solution is likely to go through clear the cache of all the applications that we have installed.
Android allows us carry out this process together without having to go application by application. If you want to know how to clear the cache of all applications, here are the steps to follow:
- First of all we go to the Settings of Android.
- Next, click on Applications. In this section, the space occupied by the applications, images, documents and other files that are installed on our device is shown.
- Then we click on Data stored in Caché.
- At that time, Android will show us a message asking us confirmation to clear cached data of the applications that we have installed. Click on Accept and that's it.
