Step by step

1. 

   Open Apps

   Open Settings and tap Apps.

   Done

2. 

   Tap See all apps

   Ours said See all 42 apps.

   Done

3. 

   Tap the app

   We tapped Chrome, listed at 20,73 MB.

   Done

4. 

   Tap Storage and cache

   It shows how much the app uses.

   Done

5. 

   Tap Clear cache

   Not Clear storage, which wipes the app's data.

   Done

6. 

   Check the cache

   Cache dropped to 0 byte.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Clear cache greyed out? There is nothing to clear: after ours was cleared, Cache read 0 byte and the button was greyed out.

  

• App not in the short list? Apps shows only recently opened apps at first. Tap See all apps (See all 42 apps on ours) for the full list.

  

If this does not work

• App still misbehaving? Tap Force stop on App info and reopen it.
• App not responding? Nothing suggests Clear cache and Clear storage, closing background apps, and restarting the phone. Back up first, because Clear storage wipes the app's data. Source: One of my apps isn't responding. What can I do?
• Phone short of space? Nothing says Settings, Storage, Free up space, Clean removes temporary files, cookies and cache in one go. Source: How do I clean up storage space?
• Rather remove the app? Nothing says Settings, Apps, See all apps, the app, Uninstall. Some built-in apps can't be uninstalled. Source: How do I uninstall an app?

About this guide

The screenshots are from our Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the European model A069P, with Nothing OS 4.1 and Android 16 (build FroggerPro-B4.1-260424-1447-EEA), in Dark theme. We cleared Chrome's cache.

Good to know

With space freed, see update the phone.

In short: Settings, Apps, See all apps, the app, Storage and cache, Clear cache.
