  2. Access “General”
  3. Tap “Apps” and select the desired app
  4. Tap “Storage” > “Clear cache”
  5. If clearing the cache didn’t help, tap “Clear data” > “OK”

Wipe the Phone’s Cache Partition:

  1. Launch “Settings”
  2. Access “Phone Management”
  3. Tap “Storage” > “Internal storage”
  4. Once the phone finishes calculating the data, tap “Cached data” > “Clear”
