Your phone’s internal memory will become full over time. This can be due to intensive usage or more frequent use. If your phone does not have enough basic data, this data can quickly become overwhelming and even take over your entire memory. When it comes to data management and cache, not all applications are the same. Many Gigabytes of data can be “occupied” by caches from different applications like Instagram, Facebook, or Youtube.

What is the cache?

The cache stores data locally that can be reused, such as images. This feature helps to improve the user experience and reduce loading times. It also saves your data plan. The logo is saved to your browser when you visit Facebook. It will then be available for you to reuse each time you visit a page on the site. This reduces requests and speeds up performance.

But, the cached data can become large over time and can cause your Android to slow down. Remember that the cached files are not necessary for proper functioning designed to optimize the application, but not for functionality reasons. We can remove them with complete peace of mind.

What’s the difference between app data and cache?

Caching stores media-like files but application data is usually linked to the user’s account or database. If you delete storage data in the Instagram app, it will also delete your login credentials. If you open the app again, you’ll be asked to log into with your credentials.

It is similar to resetting an application to its original state by deleting cached files and storage data.

Why should you clean up your Android data and cache?

As mentioned in the introduction, clearing the cache will free up space and improve performance. Imagine that you have one red candy and one green candy in a box. The X app will need the green candy but it will need to find it among all the red candies. This may require additional processing. The application will not find the green candy (in cache), if the red candies aren’t empty.

Clearing cache and data can also be necessary if certain applications stop working properly. For example, an update that conflicts with cached data can cause this. To restore application functionality, it is necessary to clear all cached data.
