Clear App Cache / Data:

NOTE: In case one of your applications doesn’t work as intended; it crashes, freezes, or takes up too much storage inexplicably, you might be able to fix these issues by clearing the app’s cache and data.

WARNING! Clearing an application’s data will result in the deletion of all your personal information stored within the app, such as profiles, high scores, saved games, settings, login and credit card information etc. To avoid losing any personal data, try clearing only the application’s cache.

  1. On the home screen, drag the “Notification” bar down
  2. Tap “Settings” in the upper-right corner of the screen
  3. Tap “General” > “Apps”
  4. Swipe left to the “All” tab
  5. Select the desired application
  6. Tap “Clear cache”
  7. If necessary, tap “Clear data” > “Yes” (Read WARNING above)

Clear the Cache Partition:

NOTE: If your phone crashes, freezes, runs out of storage inexplicably or otherwise doesn’t work properly, you might be able to fix these problems by clearing the phone’s cache partition. This can have a similar effect as a factory reset, without losing any of your personal data located on the phone’s internal memory.

  1. Swipe the “Notification” bar down on the home screen
  2. Access “Settings”
  3. Tap “General” > “Storage”
  4. Wait for the phone to finish calculating the data
  5. Tap “Cached data” > “Yes” to clear the cache
  6. Wait for the process to complete and once done, you should no longer see any data under “Cached data” (or a very small amount at least)

NOTE: If clearing the cache partition didn’t solve the issues, you can visit this thread for instructions on how you can factory reset the LG G5 instead.

Reboot Into Safe Mode and Remove an App:

NOTE: In case you have installed a third party application that causes issues on your device and prevents you from removing it, you should be able to uninstall the app from within Safe Mode. In this mode, all third party apps are disabled by default. To reboot into Safe Mode

  1. Wake up the screen, if necessary
  2. On the home screen, press and hold “Power”
  3. From the power options pop-up, tap and hold “Power off”
  4. When prompted to “Restart in Safe mode”, tap “OK”
  5. Wait for your phone to reboot, and once done, a “Safe mode” watermark should be visible in the lower-left corner of the screen
  6. To remove an application within Safe Mode, first go to the phone’s “Settings” menu
  7. Next, tap “General” > “Apps”
  8. Swipe to the “Downloaded” tab
  9. Select the desired app
  10. Tap “Uninstall” > “OK”
  11. To exit safe mode, press and hold the “Power” key, and tap “Power off and restart” in the pop-up menu
