What is a cache partition on an Android smartphone and why should you delete it?

The Android operating system uses partitions in the internal memory of the Samsung Galaxy S20 to store and process temporary data. One of these partitions is the cache partition.

The cache partition stores update files and other information called the system cache. Update files, such as firmware updates or app updates, are downloaded and stored in a cache partition before they are installed.

The cache is a type of memory in your phone where the operating system and apps store information they use to do their jobs. The Samsung Galaxy J7 has two different types of cache. The first is the app cache and the other is the system cache.

In some cases, the files in the cache partition might be corrupted, outdated, or in competition with new files, which might cause problems. The most common problems are noticeable in terms of phone performance and battery life.

Deleting the cache partition only deletes system files and does not affect personal data such as photos, videos, documents, applications, and so on. Settings etc. are also not affected by the function. Therefore, the Wipe Cache Partition is always the first choice and not, for example, a factory reset.

When should I run a Wipe Cache Partition on the Samsung Galaxy S20?

If your Samsung Galaxy S20 is sluggish or slow after installing a firmware update or application, this may be due to a bad system cache.

If, in addition, the battery is drained very quickly, the display goes black and no longer shows anything, the Samsung Galaxy S20 develops heat or frequently experiences app crashes, then the wipe cache partition is a common troubleshooting step.

Samsung

Samsung devices are some of the Android phones and tablets that use a cache partition to store a system cache. This cache is a set of temporary files that Android uses in order to perform tasks efficiently. Such files are usually used often so instead of downloading them from somewhere every time they’re needed, Android stores them in a separate portion in the storage device called cache partition for faster access. If you wipe the cache partition, the system will rebuild the cache again over time.

Sometimes, a major software update or app installation may affect the system cache and cause it to become corrupted. This, in turn, can result in problems so wiping the cache partition may help.

Steps to wipe or clear the Cache Partition on a Samsung

If your Samsung phone or tablet is not working properly, you can either wipe the cache partition or perform a master reset. Both of these procedures are done within Recovery Mode but each one clears a different portion or partition of the phone storage. Unlike master reset though, cache partition wipe won’t delete your personal data so it can be done anytime without worrying to backup your files first.
For demonstration purposes we are using a Note10 but the steps are generally the same across Samsung devices.

  1. Turn off your Samsung device.

    This is important as your device won’t boot to Recovery Mode when it’s on. If you are unable to power down the device normally for some reason, wait for the battery to become empty. Afterwards, charge the device for at least 30 minutes before proceeding to the next steps below.

  2. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key (for devices without the Home key such as the Galaxy Note10 series).

    If your Samsung device has the Home button, make sure that you press and hold Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons together. Continue pressing and holding the buttons until the Recovery Mode screen comes up.

  3. Release buttons.

    Once the Android Recovery screen comes up, you can let go of the buttons.

  4. Highlight “Wipe cache partition”.

    Use the Volume Down button to highlight ‘Wipe cache partition.’

  5. Select “Wipe cache partition”.

    Press the Power button to select ‘Wipe cache partition.’

  6. Highlight “Yes”.

    Use Volume Down button to highlight “Yes.”

  7. Select “Yes.

    Press the Power button to confirm “Yes.”

  8. Allow the system to clear the cache.
