Wipe Cache

[Jfalls63]

No option to Wipe the Cache Partition in recovery anymore.
I did find that you can wipe cached data for all apps in Settings - Storage.
Wonder if it is just as good?

I wouldn't think it's going to have the same effect. The system cache resides in its own dedicated partition and is relative only to the operating system. App caches are stored in the user's data partition and relate only to their respective apps.

This works to wipe the system cache on a Moto E4, guessing it should apply to your X 4th Gen.? That wipe system cache option is buried pretty deep in all the button pressing.

Option not in recovery menu anymore.

If it's any consolation it's not in there for the Essential either. No one seems to know how to do it without ADB commands yet. Grrr

Must be a change made in 7.0 and up.
Probably be installing TWRP as soon as one gets built for this device.

Mfastboot or Fastboot erase cache should work.

Didn't think about fastboot commands, thanks.

Apparently seamless updates make the cache partition unnecessary:

From what I've seen online it looks like the Moto X4 supports seamless updates, so it's possible there is no cache partition.

Huh. Who knew?
Old habits and all but I like clearing cache every now and again...

The reason I went with the Android One version was updates straight from Google. Lenovorolla really dragged their feet on getting 7.0 on the XPE. Some people still waiting.

Yup. I never got the update (Verizon), I seriously doubt it's ever coming even though "they" said it was.

I guess this is what we have now, Settings - Storage - Internal - Cached Data
