The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the favorite flagship device launched by the Samsung in the year 2014. Lots of users still own this device and want to know necessary things which were hidden from them. One out of those things is how to clear cache.

Clearing the apps and system cache is a part of any Standard Android toolbox. It is the initial step performed by the users to troubleshoot performance of the system. But not all the users are aware of how to clear cache on their Android smartphone, especially on Samsung Galaxy S5.

To help those users I decided to write this detailed tutorial on how to clear cache on Galaxy S5, but first, it is essential to understand What is Cache Data? Why would you Clear Cache? What Clearing Cache on the device do?

What is Cached Data on Galaxy S5

Cached data on the Galaxy S5 is nothing but the scripts, files, images, and the related files stored on the phone by the apps and websites. The entire data is kept on the device so that whenever you open the app or visit the website, it has all the information about it already.

The purpose of keeping cache data on the phone is to improve the user experience.

  • The performance is abysmal
  • It keeps crashing or freezing
  • Facing not responding error while opening apps
  • Experiencing bugs after installing the latest firmware

The best quality solution is to clear cache.

How Clearing Cache Improve the Performance?

So when you clear cache, it deletes all the cached data including old and fresh which in return bring the app or system to clean state and boost the performance.
