The Easiest Way to Speed up Android
No matter which browser you use on your Android, it accumulates junk files over time. If left unchecked, these files can take anywhere from hundreds of megabytes to several gigabytes of disk space. This not only slows down your browser, but it can also affect the speed of your phone, and the solution is simple: clean your browsers of junk files periodically.
How to Clear Cache in Android Browsers
Each browser has different steps when it comes to clearing cache and junk files. Below we will look at popular browsers.
Chromium
Open a browser, tap the three-dot Menu button, and select History > Clear browsing data .
From here, make sure the Time Range is set to All Time . Next, select the ” Cookies and Site Data ” and ” Cached Images and Files ” options. Click ” Clear Data ” to get rid of all saved data.
Samsung Internet
If you are using a Samsung smartphone, you can use their built-in browser. Open your browser and tap the three-line menu in the bottom right corner. Select ” Settings ” > ” Privacy ” > ” Clear browsing data “. Select the ” Cookies and Site Data ” and ” Cached Images and Files ” options. Click ” Delete data ” and confirm the action in the pop-up window.

How to Clear Cache for Any Android App
What if you’re using a niche browser like Brave or Opera? Look in the History section in Settings , and you’ll see an option to clean junk files there.
There is also a global cache clear option that works for any app including browsers, but we don’t advise you to use it for apps like your bank or password managers as you risk losing important data: open the Settings app on your computer. On your Android phone, go to Apps & Notifications (or Apps ) > App Info and select the app you want, then go to Memory & Cache and tap Clear Cache . All temporary files will be deleted instantly.
