clear cache app

[nightowl_lgally]

Anyone have a recommendation on a app to clear cache in all apps?

Also, is it a good idea to clear it in everything?

Quick system info pro has a cache cleaner for all and a widget.

History Eraser (dumapic) app - FREE. There are other apps similarly named.

i got 'Quick System Info PRO' app; under preferences it allows me to configure widgets --

i checked the box to enable "quick cache cleaner" & rebooted...



-- but i CANNOT figure out how to actually run it, or add the widget for it to my homescreen - can anyone advise?



thankish!

Quick System Info widgets will not be available if you move the app to the SD. keep the app on the phone and you will have a widget available that will clear all apps cache with one click.

yes, thanks, ....but i never said nothin 'bout moving the app to the SD - it IS on the phone.



but - in any case i did figure this out - by mistake....



although not intending to, i inadvertently long-pressed on the homescreen, which popped up the dialogue box to add widgets, so I got it all set up now. I had forgotten all about that long-press thing, DUH!

I use an app called Quick Clean cache app. It lets you clear all app caches all at once. You can also schedule the app to clean periodically throughout the day.

Is clearing the "app caches" just a way to clean up memory? Please explain if this is not the answer. Thanks!!

Pretty much. The one I use is called Cache Cleaner. It doesn't actually clean the caches but let's me know which apps have a cache and how much space it is using. I can then touch that app and it takes me to the app in manage applications where I can then touch the clear cache button.

Ok, thought so. However, doesn't clearing the cache of those specific apps delete all your settings, records (for games), account info, & anything you had saved for that app? Why would you want to do that (unless you wanted to clear a high score & start over or something along those lines)?
