Manually clean an app's cache

A lot of cleaning apps claim to improve the memory and performance of your android device. This really happen, but it's majorly cause of cleaning out your apps' caches. A cache is a storage area where data or frequently used processes are saved for fast access when needed. As a result, the cache saves time and prevents unnecessary use of the resources on your phone. So, cleaning your app when your phone is lagging or the memory is running out,  could seem like the best option in the short run, but it could have consequences in the long term.
Crackohack recommends doing preventative cache cleanings on occasion, and when you do it, do it from the list of Apps with the biggest size of data. How to do this:

• Go to the Settings Menu;
• Click on Apps;
• Find the All tab;
• Choose an app that is taking up a lot of space;
• Click the button Clear Cache. If you're running Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your device then you'll need to click on Storage and then Clear Cache.

• A screen will pop asking for confirmation to remove everything stored within the caches. Confirm and save to remove the content.
