UI 8 Beta 5 Cleanup

[Tom6068]

Now that it is ready to use, please after updating the beta, to do a "Wipe cache partition" function using the recovery screen. That will help to eliminate any issues from conflicts with cached files from causing issues.

Power off the device. Then, press and hold the volume up and power buttons simultaneously until the device enters recovery mode. Using the volume buttons, move the highlight to "Wipe cache partition", then press the power button, use volume button to choose "Yes", press the power button again to initiate the action, and then it will auto highlight "Reboot system now" and just press the power button again to restart the device normally.

I always wonder why Samsung can't implement a wipe cache partition on reboot in the installer

[-CROW-]

Because it's not necessary. I have never done that before, and everything is working fine with my device. Or Samsung already included it in the update.

This is true, it is not necessary especially starting with Android 12 (IIRC) on, as it manages the system cache very effectively. I think the option to do that remains as a last method to fix a system issue. Also, wiping the cache partition only wipe the system cache, not that of individual app/APIs. So, form a technical standpoint, clearing out the system cache will make the CPU and storage space work harder rebuilding a cache for more efficient load time and less usage of power and memory rebuilding. 

Having said that, doing it on major updates is OK as it is not like it is every day or week and really if one is having issues using the system overall, like with multiple apps, crashes, etc, it is a good starting point to (possibly) resolve the issues. Still though, and again technically, it does not need to be done.
