S23 Ultra latest software update removed the "Wipe Cache Partition" option

[Cosmo]

After installing the latest March 2026 Software Security update. I noticed you cannot Wipe Cache Partition anymore. Its not an option. Samsung please fix.

It's been removed and probably will not be replaced because it's part of the seamless update program Samsung is starting to roll out.

Ok, Ill definitely keep an eye out & see how things turn out. Other than that. Everything is looking good. Thanks 👍

As @Oxford stated, 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.

You can still clear individual app caches, clear memory in device care, and re-optimize your device in Good Guardians.

If it will automatically happen moving forward then I have no qualms about the latest update change. I still like the option to do it manually. I hope they just add it back in future updates. Thank you.

[CEParsons]

It will not be added back. Because the system cache now dumps on reboot, restarting your device effectively functions as a manual cache wipe.

[Cosmo]

Ok, thank you.

It's no surprise that Samsung took this away. They've taken advanced functions and hid them from the beginning. The reality is that the wipe cache partition function was a problem solver for many when nothing else worked. If you notice, the download and diagnostic functions are also gone. Prior to this, the wired jack for headphones, the SD Card Option, and the first to go was removable battery. Samsung wants to lock you out of your data and choices while they and their "affiliates" help themselves to it. What an advertisement for an Up Phone!

February update removed it

My husband and I have a Samsung S25 and an S23, respectively. I have noticed that several apps on my phone are slow to respond, including the Play Store. I now have to clean each app individually. This is ridiculous, I have hundreds of apps!
