Clear the app cache and data on your Galaxy phone or tablet

Clear the app cache and data on your Galaxy phone or tablet
Clear an app's cache
Clearing the app cache is kind of like a cleanse for your apps. It will get rid of residual files that could be slowing down the app.
Open Settings, and then swipe to and tap Apps. Select or search for the app you want to clear. Tap Storage, and then tap Clear cache.
Clear an app's data
Need a total do-over? Try emptying out all that app's data. But please be aware this will completely reset the app. Make sure you have any accounts or usernames written down so you can log back in after the app resets.
Open Settings, and then swipe to and tap Apps. Select or search for the app you want to clear. Tap Storage, tap Clear data, and then tap Delete. This will completely wipe the app and reset it to the original settings.
Use Device care
