To clear the cache on your Samsung device, you need to go into your app settings. Here's how, as detailed in the provided reference:
Clearing App Cache on Samsung Devices
The process generally involves navigating through your phone's settings to the specific app you want to clear cache for:
- Open Settings: Start by opening the Settings app on your Samsung device.
- Go to Apps: Scroll down and find the section labeled "Apps". Tap on it.
- Select the App: Find and select the specific app for which you wish to clear the cache (e.g., Chrome as mentioned in the reference).
- Find Storage: Once on the app's page, you'll need to find a storage option.
- Clear Cache: Look for the "Clear cache" button/option and tap it. This action will delete the cached data for the app.
Example:
- To clear the cache for the Chrome app:

Understanding Cache
- What is cache? Cache is temporary data stored by apps to make them run faster and more efficiently.
- Why clear cache? Clearing cache can help resolve issues with apps that are not functioning correctly, free up storage space, and may enhance privacy.
Important Notes:
- Clear Data vs. Clear Cache: Be careful not to tap "Clear Data" unless you intend to reset the app to its initial state and remove all the app's user data. Always use "Clear cache" when you only need to clear the temporary stored data.
- Clearing the cache will not delete any personal data from the app.
