The wipe cache partition (WCP) option was removed with the February security patch. This is in line with other Android OEMs who have also removed that option from recovery. Seamless updates with A/B partitions make manually clearing device cache after a system update moot.

It appears that WCP has also been removed for devices older than the S25 and A55 series, that have traditional cache partition structures. I've seen some speculation that this is because virtual A/B partitions have been enabled for those devices. Samsung, of course, has not confirmed anything, but this approach would make sense.
