Clearing an App's Cache / Data:

NOTE: assuming that one of your applications is not working properly, it crashes etc. you can try fixing these problems by clearing the application's data or cache.

WARNING! Keep in mind that by clearing the app's data, you will also delete all personal information stored in the app, including settings, saved games, credit card information etc.

NOTE: Clearing an app's cache will not result in data loss, so it's highly recommended that you try and fix these issues using this method first.

  2. Tap "System Settings"
  3. Go to "General"
  4. Tap "Apps" under "Device"
  5. Swipe to the "All" screen
  6. Select the desired application
  7. Tap "Clear cache"
  8. If clearing the cache hasn't solved the issue, tap "Clear data", and tap "OK" to confirm

Wiping the Phone's Cache:

NOTE: If your smartphone is not working as intended and you plan on master resetting it, then you might want to try and fix these problems by first clearing the phone's cache partition. Unlike master resetting the phone, clearing the cache will not delete personal data stored on the internal memory. To wipe the cache:

  1. Tap "Apps" while on the home screen
  2. Tap "Settings"
  3. Access the "General" tab
  4. Wait for the device to finish calculating the cache
  5. Tap "Cached data" and press "OK"
  6. Wait for the cached data to clear. Once the process is done, the screen will refresh and no cached data should be listed

NOTE: if clearing the cache hasn't helped, then you might need to apply a factory reset. To do so, visit this link for a full guide on resetting the LG G2 Mini
