Honestly, I felt like going off and ranting. Now that I am here, I'll just keep it short.
Yes, this is old news however, it has really started to irk me. WHY DID SAMSUNG REMOVE THE OPTION TO CLEAR SYSTEM CACHE FROM BOOT SCREEN (amongst many other options that have been removed).
Sidenote, if one decides to reply with "clearing cache does nothing" just keep that to yourself and let's agree to disagree. Not here for that "argument.
Back to it.....Oh, we here at Samsung are the anti Apple. Well, slowly but surely they are locking down OneUi one feature/option stricken from existence at a time as each update comes and goes.
I want to keep going, but I just don't have it in me at the moment. Maybe I need to go and clear my own personal cache (yes) and get that post cache clear clarity.
Not on the s23 ultra. Also.You stupid suggestions did nothing to fix one ui home draining 21% battery over 9 hours in the background. Not to mention I know for a fact clear cache partition worked the only proof you have that what your saying works is that samsung said so ... That fact right there just goes to prove what a retard you are! So go back out to the pasture with the rest of the sheep until you have something useful to say. 😂
The wipe cache partition (WCP) option was removed with the February 2026 security patch. This is in line with other Android OEMs who long ago removed that option from recovery. Samsung is the very last OEM to arrive at the party.
Seamless updates on devices with dual (A/B) partitions make manually clearing device cache after a system update moot. WCP did *nothing* for those devices.
For devices with single partitions (the vast majority of Samsung devices still being used), WCP provided a potential quick fix for some problems, but it was never a cure-all.
In truth, modern Android versions are very good at managing their own system resources. Routinely rebooting your device will further help by clearing background apps, resolving memory issues, and disrupting potential cyber attacks.
If you experience device slowdown, optimize your device under settings > device care. You can also install the Good Guardians app from the Galaxy Store and download the Galaxy App Booster module from within the app itself. Run Galaxy App Booster after updates and security patches to keep your system running smoothly.
