Do we not have the option to clear cache anymore after powering off the phone and holding the power and volume up?

This should be posted in the beta community. Anyway, yes it was removed with the beta 6 release. The system already has been doing that since the release of the S25 line with the UI 7.0 anyway. Samsung is just very late to finally using the system that has been available since 2016/17.

Best to use optimization apps, especially Galaxy App Booster in the Good Guardians app. When opening the Device Care app, if the header does not say "Great", it should have an optimize now button that would do a cleanup as well. Note that optimize button will always show if any app is open.

WCP is no longer available because the feature is now deprecated.

Wiping device cache no longer needs to be done manually. It now occurs automatically after updates, reboots, and in the background during idle periods such as overnight charging.

As @Tom6068 suggested, you can still clear individual app caches, clear memory in device care, and re-optimize your device in Good Guardians.

If you feel an overwhelming compulsion to clear the cache, open your phone dialer and key in *#9900# and tap delete dumpstate / logcat
