When your Samsung Galaxy runs low on memory or starts behaving strangely, you should clear the phone's cache. Show
The cache is filled with temporary data that's used by apps. This cache can help apps run faster and keep track of information they need to perform tasks. But the cache can, over time, get quite large, robbing you of storage space. And if an app behaves strangely, corrupted data in the cache might be to blame. You have two choices: You can clear the entire cache on your Galaxy with a single tap (which is convenient if your goal is to reclaim storage space) or you can clear specific apps' caches (best if you are troubleshooting a buggy app). Either way, clearing the cache does not delete important data; it only discards temporary working files.
