How to free memory by clearing the app cache

The Android phones of the latest generation usually have a internal memory quite wide, enough to not have problems. But if you use a mid-range or low-end terminal, it is likely that you have ever encountered space problems to store your data or download new appss.

An SD card can solve most of these problems, but there are applications that we can only install in the internal memory. If you have problems of this type, clear cache of the apps you have installed, it can be a good way to free up memory, let's see how.

Clear the cache, the best way to free up memory

What is the use of clearing the cache

If you look at the occupied space of the applications you download on your smartphone, you will be able to verify that some, like Facebook, Youtube or Chrome they can be quite large in size, reaching around 50 MB. However, if we look at the space that they are really occupying in our terminal, we can see how it can even exceed the 350 MB and that is where we find the problem.

The difference between these two figures is in the data that the different applications store on our smartphone. For example, pages from which data has been stored load faster, and the same goes for YouTube histories and tweets that we have already seen on Twitter. Therefore, if we delete all this data, we will have a extra internal memory which could be very useful.

This solution is by no means a panacea, because when we reconnect, all the data will be downloaded again, but it can be the way, for example, to leave some free space to install or update an application at a certain time.

How to clear the cache

To clear the cache of an app, you must go to Settings>Applications, and enter one by one in all the ones that you think take up too much space. You can also sort them by size. If you see that the weight of the cache is considerable (which is usually when it is above 50 MB), you will simply have to click on the button Clear Cache that appears next to this information and that data will be deleted.

As we have said, the disappearance of these data will only be temporary, because they will return in another measure, as soon as we reconnect. Therefore, we recommend that before resorting to this method delete all the apps you don't use, which will be much more effective.

Has this information helped you to get out of the quagmire on any occasion? do you have any other way to avoid lack of space without needing to be root android? leave a comment about lack of storage space in android.
