This method is great if you have one specific pesky app that’s crashing like crazy. Simply go to settings, Apps or Applications, Application Manger, go over to All then look for the App you want. When you found it click it. Next scroll down and choose the option to : Clear Cache.

Effect: Clear the cache related to a particular App and that App only.

4. Clear Cache Partition from Recovery Mode

To do this power down the phone and to boot into recovery mode simply : Hold down Power+ Volume up and Home button. Let go after you see the recovery screen. From here use volume up and down to move and select the option for : Wipe cache Partition and use power to select that option. Wait and allow the cache to be cleared and that’s it from here reboot and you are finished.

Effect: Clears the entire Cache of your device and tends to be the most effective method of clearing Cache on Android.
