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?

Hi,
is there any program or utility that will clear all the HD2 cache items that typically fill up the system memory - things like Google Maps cache etc? I have seen some HD2 Sense icon cache cleaners but can't seem to see anything that will flush all cache and temp directories to retreive much needed system space.
Regards,
Matt

Hey
Memaid is a great app, this will do what you want + more, but it not cheap $25
http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ - worth it tho!
for something simpler & free take a look at cleartemp http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-cleartemp.html
hope this helps
Tip: may not apply to you, but also take a look in your "volatile" folder (My Device/Application Data/Volatile), this can sometimes fill up after installing apps, its safe to delete the contents of this folder.
I also use Clean RAM
http://www.htcaddicts.com/?id=110
It's free.
Thanks for your advice and taking the time to reply, I'll look into these and see which one suits me best.
a folder to clean that rarely ever gets a mention is
windows/opera9/profile/download
which is where things like mp3's end up if you choose 'open' instead of 'save'
Another great app for total maintenance is SKTools. Try the trial version first to see if you like it as it is not free. The free trial only ids 6 things, you clean them then rescan again and get 6 more. So, you can use that to see what you find and clean.

I use it weekly and it does a good job.
Excellent, SKTools does the job I need it to! Thanks for all your help!
Does that Clear Cached Data option under Storage wipe out your app settings and configuration?
Nope, it just clears cached data. So the app will have to reload/build stuff from scratch that was previously cached.
(ex: an gallery app that shows pictures would have to reload the thumbnails after clearing cache, however the pictures are still intact and not wiped)

Thanks!
Some cache is useful, some is just wasted space. It depends on how well-made the app is. Some just keep building and building cache until it takes up unbelievable amounts of space. But all apps well rebuild cache with use, so it's not a bad idea to clear it every now and then.

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
Do system cleaners work?, no they don't. You can use any on the market like DU Cleaner, clean your phone using that which I just used and it found 761mb of junk which I deleted, then I used Super Speed Clean which found 847mb of junk so no, they don't work. The only way to delete junk is to go into recovery and delete cache and dalvik cache so save your money people and forget about these apps.
wondered this already,, but i fugure cant go worng with the stock one samsung comes with
No. It's snakeoil nonsense. Kinda like antivirus for android, but worse.
Sure you can delete cache files and whatnot, and the system one provided by Samsung has root (or some kind of elevated) access so it can actually touch more things.
It's 100% not going to speed up your phone. Inert files on your storage do not slow down your UI or add work to your processors or take up RAM

That's what most people do, thanks for the instructions

They must be paying samsung oodles of money to bake that into touchwiz.
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.
