Most people who use mobile technology or computers may have heard the word "cache" and that it should be cleared. However, most often they have no idea what is hidden behind this word, and what it is for. In the material below we will tell you what a cache is and how to clear it on a tablet.
Any application in the tablet takes up some space. For its work, the device uses free storage and in order to increase productivity creates files that optimize performance. A simple example is that an image gallery cache has a preview of all photos or pictures. When the user opens the gallery, he sees small images and then opens the file he needs. If the gallery did not have a cache, then each photo would be represented by just a file, and you would have to look for the right one at random. Yes, and opening one picture would take some time. The question is quite logical - why clear the cache on the tablet if it is useful?
The fact is that over time, cache data grows and take up a lot of space. For each individual application, the amount of data required is small, but all the files together have an impressive size, which can grow to several gigabytes over time. Every Android owner has come across a situation where, after a few months of using free space in memory, there is less and less space left, although nothing has been installed. If this happens, then it's time to clean the tablet.
Important! Clearing the cache is a useful action in itself, but unsaved data from running software may be deleted in the process. For this reason, all running programs should be stopped before cleaning the tablet.
What are the types of cache memory
There are three types of cache memory on an Android tablet:
- dalvik;
- systemic;
- applications.
Dalvik cache- these are files that are created by a special system of the same name. In a sense, these data are instructions that allow applications to launch faster. They are hidden in a protected section of memory, and the user cannot access them. They do not need to be cleaned, as otherwise the operation of the entire system may be disrupted.
System cache- data that is created directly by applications is stored here, that is, the difference is that the dalvik cache is needed so that applications can work in principle, and the system cache speeds up their work. It is important to understand that the system cache is the application files that are installed in the device by default, that is, those that the owner of the tablet PC cannot delete.
Application cache- this is information necessary for the quick operation of applications installed by the user. It is these files that usually litter the memory. In fact, clearing the memory on the tablet means clearing the application cache.
How to clean memory
You can clear the cache using the built-in system tools or using third-party systems. You can also clean it manually, but this will not be exactly clearing the cache, rather, the user will be able to clear the internal memory of the tablet and the browsing history in browsers, they also affect the performance of the device and the amount of free space. But the built-in software or third-party applications clean up better and work directly with the cache.
To clear the memory manually, you can use file manager or so that it is defined as external memory. Regardless of the method, the user's task is to delete all unnecessary music, photos, videos and other files, such as downloaded documents or books.
Important! You need to carefully go through the folders of messengers, as they store data about voice messages, forwarded videos, photos and music. The most convenient way to do this is from a PC, sequentially looking into each folder and deleting what is not needed. If there is any doubt about the purpose of the file, then it is better to leave it untouched so as not to disrupt the device's performance.
