Clear cache vs. clear data or storage
| Setting | What it does | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Clear cache | Deletes temporary app data. | The app may take longer to open next time while it rebuilds temporary data. Google Android Help describes this effect in its storage guidance. |
| Clear data or Clear storage | Resets the app or removes its saved data and settings. | Samsung says clearing data resets the app to its factory-default settings. Use this only if you intend to reset the app, and understand that saved information may be removed. |
For routine troubleshooting or cache cleanup, choose Clear cache. Samsung explains the distinction in its Galaxy app cache and data instructions.
Can you clear every app’s cache at once?
Samsung’s standard instructions do not provide a control for clearing all apps’ caches at once; its support guidance says a factory reset would be required. A factory reset is not a routine cache-cleaning step: it resets the phone, so do not use it just to clear temporary app files.

When Device care may help
Device care is a separate Samsung tool for broader storage and memory management. It can be useful when you want to review space use across the phone, but it is not required to clear a particular app’s cache. See Samsung’s storage-space guidance for its Device care information.
