📂 What are cache files?
Whenever you use an app or website in your smartphone, it stores some data temporarily, so that the app or site can load quickly the next time. This data is called Cache Files.
Example:
Suppose you opened Instagram, then the information of your profile photo, feed, settings etc. is temporarily saved in the phone so that it can load faster next time.

Files by Google – Google’s own safe app
CCleaner – trusted third party app
You can also easily clean the cache with these apps.
🤔 Does deleting cache files delete data?
No, deleting the cache does not affect your important data. It only deletes temporary files, which causes apps to load data again.
When should the cache be deleted?
When the phone becomes slow
When apps crash repeatedly
When storage becomes full
✅ Benefits of clearing cache
📱 Phone speed increases
📦 Storage becomes free
⚙️ Apps start running smoothly
🔒 Privacy increases (because some cache also contains sensitive data)
⚠️ What things to keep in mind?
Deleting the cache repeatedly can slow down some apps for a short time because they have to load data again.
It is not necessary to clear the cache every time. Do it only when needed.
✍️ Conclusion
Cache files help in making the smartphone fast and smooth, but over time they can also make the phone slow. That is why deleting these files from time to time is a good habit. With the methods mentioned above, you can easily remove cache files from your Android phone yourself, that too without any risk.
