Step by step

1. 

   Open Apps

   Open Settings and tap Apps.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Manage apps

   It is the first row.

   Done

3. 

   Tap the app

   We tapped Chrome. You can also search at the top.

   Done

4. 

   Tap Storage

   It shows how much the app uses.

   Done

5. 

   Tap Clear cache

   Ours showed Cache 73,73 kB before. Don't use Manage storage unless you want to wipe the app's data.

   Done

6. 

   Check the result

   Cache now reads 0 B and Clear cache is greyed out. Data went from 5,30 MB to 5,22 MB.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• No Manage apps row? HONOR's guide gives Settings, Apps, Apps, the app, Storage, CLEAR CACHE on other versions. Ours said Manage apps. Source: App Basics
• Can't find the app in the list? System apps can be hidden: HONOR's steps tap the menu and Show system processes, then search for the app. Source: Background apps are forced to close
• Clear cache does nothing? It is greyed out when the cache is already 0 B, as ours was after clearing.

  

If this does not work

• App still crashes? Tap Force stop on App info, then reopen it. If that fails, Manage storage clears the app's data; Google notes this deletes its files and settings, so you may need to sign in again. Source: Free up space
• Background app keeps closing? HONOR says to update the app, turn off Manage automatically for it in App launch, and allow it in Battery optimisation. Source: Background apps are forced to close
• Need to free a lot of space? Cache is usually small. HONOR says to uninstall apps you rarely use and clean up storage instead. Source: Phone indicated to not have sufficient storage space

About this guide

Clearing cache fixes many crashing or misbehaving apps without signing you out.

The screenshots are from our HONOR Magic7 Lite, the European model BRP-NX1M, with MagicOS 10.0 and Android 16 (build 10.0.0.169(C430E7R2P1)), in Dark mode. We cleared Chrome's cache.

Good to know

To free more space at once, free up storage on an HONOR phone.

To keep apps working well, update an HONOR phone.

In short: Settings, Apps, Manage apps, the app, Storage, Clear cache.
