Wiping the cache partition is safe but pretty effective against issues that affect your phoneâs performance. The first part of this procedure is to restart your device into recovery mode.
To begin, press and hold the volume down button and the power key for a couple of seconds until the power options show.
In previous Galaxy devices, you only have to press and hold the power key but itâs different with the S20 already.
Tap Power off to shut down the phone.
Actually you have to touch two Power off options to shut the device down.
Wait until your device has shut down completely.
You should feel a short vibration as a sign that itâs completely powered off.
To start the phone into recovery mode, press and hold the volume up button and the power key for a few seconds.
When the Galaxy S20 logo shows, release both keys and wait until the phone reaches a black screen with yellow and blue texts. Thatâs a sign that youâve successfully booted it up into recovery mode.
Using the volume down key, highlight the option âwipe cache partition.â
Once highlighted, press the power key to select it.
Press the volume down button to highlight Yes, and then press the power key.
The wiping of the cache partition will take just a second or two. When finished, just press the power key to select Reboot system now.
