Clearing app cache?

Hey guys,

If anyone is still looking for a way to do this, there is a fantastic app I have found called 'Magic Cleaner' on the App Store which has been developed by a guy called 'Daniel Anderson'. It has cleared 2GB of crap from apps like Facebook and Twitter.

Apple should really have a way of dealing with this, it is such a waste of space.

Hope this helps!

You could also try to force a cache clearing by trying to download a movie thru iTunes which is more than your available storage. Try to do the steps mentioned in this link http://techathlon.com/free-gbs-space-iphone-deleting-photos-apps-files/

Why would you want to clear your cache for those apps? Hopefully you are not confusing your storage space with RAM and caches...

Usually you would just want to suspend/kill the app by using the "multi-task" clearer (Home button, press down on the screen until the red ➖ comes up)

The increase just makes it easier for your app to perform as expected, which you probably already knew.

In the stock iOS world, you do not have that much control. You'll need to either configure the settings within the App, or uninstall/reinstall it.

The Facebook app is taking up to 200 megs on my iOS device. So it's only possible to clear that amount of space by removing the APP and re-install it?

You can use i-FunBox to clear cache for every apps:

1- plug you iOS device

2- select the app you want (example: facebook)

3- Go on "Library" folder

4- Delete the "Cache" folder

Enjoy 😀

Pinterest has done a bad job creating the app (cache wise). They did not put a cache limit therefore it never deletes any data whatsoever. As of now, you have to manually delete the app and reinstall it. My gf's phone had over 3 GBs!

The new Google Maps (for example) on the other hand did a great job on their caching. They put the limit at 100 MBs. That way you can use GPS navigation and street view all over the world and it will never increase after 100 MBs! After it reaches 100 MBs, it just deletes the oldest cache files.

I have the same problem with iPhoto and iMovie.

They are 100% EMPTY - Still they are taking GBs of space.

Cant find a way to clear cache othern the delete the app and install again:

Yes, It's normal. It's the app's original size. The installer is just compressed and that's the size when they are uncompressed when installed. Wait, did you include Spotify? If you included spotify, try Imakiel's procedure in deleting cache.

Thanks. It worked.

This was a problem for myself... But if you sign out from the likes of Facebook and sign back in again, it should clear the documents and data at some point.

This does work for me time to time, but seems to be the only way other than using a pc or deleting app to clear the cache.

It worked!! Thank you for sharing:) cheers!

Did you use the Ifunbox? Is that what worked for you?

Yes. iFunBox worked for me.
