The structure of our terminals as mobile devices, Laptops and computers have a series of tools and mechanisms with which the correct operation of these equipment is ensured., what's more, Thanks to these respective processes, the general performance can evolve in a much more effective and faster way. when performing any type of action.
Within sayings essential mechanisms or components Within these respective terminals we can find important factors such as memoria RAM (or also known as random access memory) and the cache. The latter named plays an important role in our respective mobile devices and computers., that we will analyze next.
Later we will give you a little review what is the cache about, what is its function as such and what types of cache exist. We will also explain how you can remove it from your mobile device. Without any more preambles, follow us and find out all the data, information and details related to this respective component integrated in all terminals.
What is cache and what is it really used for?
It's about a special component of the software or hardware from our mobile device or computer, its basic task is to house all kinds of data and information that have resulted from other processes, so to speak, These are the latest files and data that were developed or generated by our respective terminal. This memory complies with the same processes as the main one but to a lesser extent.
From here all kinds of duplicate files can be found or important data of some applications or programs that we have previously installed. This type of data and information is extremely essential to improve the performance and operation of different aspects of our terminals.. This type of process is much more prominent in mobile phones.
Thanks to the cache When entering any application or program as such, We will enjoy a much simpler and faster operation avoiding any kind of annoyance due to any inconvenience other than the terminal. The cache holds all kinds of files, relatively temporary information and data to be able to work simultaneously with the processor.
Despite the great purpose of the cache memory in a terminal, It is recommended that from time to time, to be more specific, every month, we will take care of deleting the stored data in this respective space. Because this can accumulate and end up generating some kind of failure or slowdown in the processes we run.
What are the characteristics of the cache and what uses does it have
If we want to be a little more specific, the cache has some characteristics that differentiate it from others. Let's take a closer look at this..
- As usual, this kind of memory stores very specific data for everyday use, This being the reason why it speeds up processes when using applications.
- The cache was created to alleviate the use of processor components / computer, greatly liberating consumption and improving performance. This is especially true of the processor cache, although it is also noticeable in the daily cache (Applications, websites).
- The cache generally have a hierarchical order and it's organized like this. Again, this condition arises precisely from its purpose as memory to accelerate processes.
- The cache rarely takes up much space. In any case, when information is stored, it may be necessary to clean it, but this is essentially true in app or browser cache.
- The use of the cache depends on the context, but generally its use by Apps is due to the need to store specific data. In most cases, the cache data is there so you can access them more quickly, as we pointed out before.
How many types of cache are there?
As we have said before, the cache memory is focused on increasing the performance and functionality of our terminals by hosting all types of files, data and information in your space. Therefore, there are several places where these files can be saved, clearly based on its content.
Hidden web.
Are the data types, information and files necessary to guarantee the correct functioning of web browsers. The main objective of this is to ensure that all kinds of procedures that are carried out on the different pages and portals are carried out correctly and as quickly as possible, avoiding any type of unnecessary and annoying load.
Disk cache.
It's a little RAM memory portion linked to disk as such. This one focuses heavily on hosting all kinds of files, data and information previously read in order to speed up its operation.
Cache tracking.
This is without a doubt the least common on the list. This type of cache memory is only found in supercomputers whose operation is much more extensive and stronger than that of a common computer.
What happens if I clear the cache on my phone or computer?
Clearing the cache of the PC or an application has no consequences “graves”. The only thing you can hope for is that everything slows down a bit. Remember, the cache is there to speed up processes, so deleting it will make it necessary to reload everything and this may temporarily degrade performance.
Why should the app cache be cleared?
While the above is true, it is known that the cache can be stored, but not always automatically erased. In the case of mobile applications, in the long run this can cause the storage to fill up little by little.
In other words, sometimes you need to clear the cache. for the purpose of freeing up space on the cell phone / computer.
How to clear the application cache or the system
This time we will focus on clearing the cache in Windows, but below we will show you how to carry out the process on your mobile device. To start cleaning this data from the PC, it will be necessary to download CCleaner. This tool allows clear the cache of many applications of the team.
The process is simple, after downloading and installing CCleaner, start the app. At the beginning, the 'Custom cleaning' section will be displayed, go to her. Here you will see two tabs' Windows’ and 'Programs', it is better to use both sections.
To clear your computer's cache, just click Analyze and wait for it to finish. Then click on the option 'Run the cleaner’ and the program will clear the cache, history and other data saved on PC.
How can we clear the cache of our mobile?
If you have a smartphone with Android operating system performing this type of action is very simple. Pay attention and discover the steps.
First of all we will have to access mobile settingsFrom there we will go to the applications section, in this we will look for the heaviest applications and we will click on them. Finally we will click on the button “Clear cache” and ready.
