Why refresh the system cache?
Samsung Galaxy devices are some of the Android phones and tablets that use a cache partition to store a system cache. This cache is a set of temporary files that Android uses in order to perform tasks efficiently.
Such files are usually used often so instead of downloading them from somewhere every time they’re needed, Android stores them in a separate portion in the storage device called cache partition for faster access. If you wipe the cache partition, the system will rebuild the cache again over time.
Sometimes, a major software update or app installation may affect the system cache and cause it to become corrupted. This, in turn, can result in problems so wiping the cache partition may help.
