If I want to clear the cache partition as the user/owner of the device, I should be able to do so.<BR /><BR />Doesn't matter that I haven't had the need to, it matters that the option to do it remains.

But now the update does that for you, so you don't need to. Still, if you have any problem with any app, you can clear that app's cache. They're just making it easier for you.

You don't have to do anything. But if you have a problem with an app, you only do that with this app. You don't need to do it for all apps when you only have a problem with one app. Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:13:34 GMT https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Questions/Clear-Cache-Partition-is-gone/m-p/3493243#M3731 -CROW- 2026-02-27T21:13:34Z https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Questions/Clear-Cache-Partition-is-gone/m-p/3493267#M3732 But how would you know which app it is?

The monthly update will do that for you. You don't need to do that more than once a month.
