Help Clearing cache question..

[lesawag]

Hi all,
When i cleared the cache in my browser, I must of cleared something I was not supposed to, because I lost my bookmarks. I have also screwed up settings to other apps. as well. When clearing the browser cache what should I leave alone? Something else I have wondered, do I have to go to each and every app. and manually clear the cache?? This takes awhile, my blackberrys just had a memory clean option. Lol Are there some apps. or settings I should never touch? Like what about the apps. and stuff native to htc??

Thanks so much for the help, just trying to teach myself correctly.

How are you cleaning cache? Through manage applications? There are two options there - wipe cache and wipe data. If you select the option to wipe app data, you're going to lose all settings for that app. That would include browser bookmarks. It'll be the same for all apps. You can safely wipe cache for any app, but don't wipe app data unless you want something similar to losing your bookmarks to happen. If you want to wipe browser cache, I assume you just want to wipe cookies, etc. etc. You can find those options in browser settings.

Perfect thank you very much. Lesson learned, I wont wipe data. It sure was a pain adding all my bookmarks back. Lol. Thanks again for the help.

Any time . Just for future reference, it would probably be a good idea to make a bookmarks backup with this:
