Whats a good app for cleaning ram

What's a good app to clean the cache and ram? Also how do you utilize the space on the phone using OneDrive. I have auto sync set up and i got the additional 100 gbs on OneDrive. I have always had a mem9ry card lol. Do I delete the pictures from the gallery once I take them because they are synced to OneDrive?

What cache are you talking about? Individual apps' caches can be cleared in stock settings, system cache can be cleared in recovery.
You shouldn't really ever have to worry about RAM, as Android does a fine job of managing it under normal circumstances.

Had some problems with ram aswell on the stock firmware. I used Clean Master to improve it

You have the stock app like smart manager, if you want another you can use SD Maid pro, is the best.

Clean master for me

Cache All photos In Gallery?

hi there,
I have just installed a new SD card the other day and i noticed that every time i access the "gallery" app, then not all thumbnails are loaded by default... it's still extremely fast but it seems is not caching EVERYTHING... does it take some time for that to cache everything?
I went under all applications and the size of the cache of "Gallery" is in fact growing... or is there a limit for which IF you have more than XYZ photos, then it will NOT cache all of it?
thanks,
Gabrio

Any ideas? Or maybe that is normal?

If I clear the cache, to make the gallery show all thumbs instantly, I have to slowly scroll through them all until they have all been generated
Subsequent visits to the gallery show the thumbs immediately, until I clear the cache again

So if i do the same thing and clear cache, it will be really slow.. then i do as you say and slowly scroll down the gallery until i see all thumbs, first time going slow and consequent times are faster, but not all thumbs are instantly there which makes me think cache is disabled or something?
I have all photos on the sd card and i think i have like 2-3000 photos in few different folders...
Just strange.. thanks

hi again,
so i have done more testing, it seems really strange.... the gallery app doesnt want to cache more than 50-60mb of stuff, on my wifeàs phone that is another S5 with a different Sd card, it caches 200MB without any issue and all thumbs are loaded fine after the first "slow load", could it be a problem with the SD card? its quite annoying..
also, if you do a photo with the camera, i noticed that it starts loading all thumbnails again, even the very recent ones... is there a setting somewhere for caching photos at all anyone knows ??
thanks,
Gabrio

OOS 5.0 camera: low memory error

I'm on OOS 5.0
Free storage is more than 3 gigs
But I'm getting the low memory error in stock cam.
Tried clearing cache via app info & stock recovery.
And also tried disabling/enabling it
Any chance to fix it without wiping the whole data.

Replying to self,
Here is how I fixed it for those whose looking for fix

Thanks alot for your solution!!! I was already loosing my mind on clearing the Camera App Cache!
I can confirm, after clearing cache with the method "Go to settings > Storage > click on Data in Cache > Clear Cache" my camera now is working again.
Was already in contact with Support and did a Soft Reset of the Phone...nothing worked.
You helped me! Thanks alot! :good::good:

Empty Recycle Bins...
I have a OnePlus5t 6GB/128GB and had the same problem. After having to clean my cache every few days I decided to delete some files.: My storage was saying I was using about 98%.
To make a long story...shorter....I had two very large video files, 15GB and 13GB, and after deleting them it would not make any difference on the storage usage on my device.
Apparently, the Gallery App has a Recycle Bin folder under Collections....and you have to go in there to delete them immediately otherwise it takes 30+ days to permanently delete the files.
After doing this it still did not immediately show any change to my storage usage. Using File Explorer I could see the two large files were been stored in another Recycle Bin( Can't remember the location )...and once I deleted from there they were gone for good and my storage usage dropped to 70%.
I don't expect to see that out of memory message( even though it was not a memory problem )...any time soon :fingers-crossed:

I had the same problem, I had 4gb left but it won't let me take any pictures, it says "low memory.....". I clear "Cache Data" from the main "Storage & memory" many times, it did not work. I finally got it figured out. It's not the "storage space" that was low (AKA the HD), it was the "memory" (AKA Ram) that was full. We all tried deleting files, videos and pictures, etc... but that wasn't the problem, it was the temporary RAM memory that was fully occupied.
So I did this: settings--storage & memory--Apps--Application list, then click on each apps--then "storage" to "clear cache". Did it on all the apps.
You will find social media accounts like "Line" "Whatapps" etc, and Maps and Chrome have the most Cache to clear. Once I went thru all of the Apps to clear, the camera immediate works again.
Make sure you don't click "Clear Data" (Just above "Clear Cache"), it will clear all your chat history and login settings, unless if that's what you want to do.

cache cleaner

I use device care storage cleaner built in app but once you go to settings,apps and sort by size,you realise big apps sizes with cache uncleaned
What is the best cache cleaner app that would do all this automatically without having to manually do it after device care?

cache cleaner?

after samsung removed that option from device maintenance, i struggle to find a good cache cleaner that actually does its job properly. i tried cache cleaner but it shows it cleaned 2gb(let's say) but then if i go to apps, instagram, facebook and a few other apps that have largest cache....are not cleaned. i am looking for an app (paid/unpaid) that would clean cache of all apps without me having to double check that this was actually done
thanks

SD Maid has been my go-to for years. I bought the Pro version. It's fantastic and has a huge range of functionality.

You have to adjust options in the settings. It works great.
