How to clear data in android application programatically?

What data is stored in the cache memory of an application in Android OS?

  • One of my apps has 170MB of cache data, what is stored in it? What happens when I clear it?

  • Answer:

    Cache data is stored in the file system. Its generally the images etc which can be retrieved again. You can definitely go ahead and delete them. No harm should be done. But again it depends on the app,like whatsapp stores all images, videos etc received in cache.
