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.
In some cases, the files in the cache partition might be corrupted, outdated, or in competition with new files, which might cause problems.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.
