What is a cache wipe?
Good question. It depends on what cache you're talking about: the app cache or the system cache. As you can probably tell, the app cache is for specific apps and the system cache is for the Android system itself. The cache is basically like the Temp folder on your PC – a bit of a dumping ground for temporary data. While caches make your Galaxy S6 faster, they can also get bogged down, hence needing to clear the Galaxy S6 cache on occasion.
How to wipe the app cache on the Galaxy S6
If you want to clear the app cache on the Galaxy S6 – whether for one app in particular or for all apps, you do this through the Settings menu. Go to Settings > App Manager and find the individual app of which you want to clear the cache. Remember it might be in the Downloaded, Running or All tab. Tap the entry and then tap Clear Cache. If you want to clear all app caches simultaneously, go to Settings > Storage and tap Cached Data > OK.

How to wipe the system cache on the Galaxy S6
If it's your Android system that is acting weird and not just an app or two, you might want to clear the system cache, also known as wiping the cache partition. The most common time this is useful is straight after an Android update, when battery drain, glitches, crashes or other weirdness can occasionally affect your system.
1. Turn off your Galaxy S6.
2. Press and hold Power, Volume Up and the Home button.

4. Use the volume buttons to scroll and highlight Wipe Cache Partition. Press Power to confirm.

6. Highlight Reboot System Now and press Power to confirm.

7. Your Galaxy S6 will reboot and recompile all of your apps. It might take a little while to re-cache them all, but once it is done you should have a Galaxy S6 running as smooth as can be.
How often do you clear your cache? What else do you do for general system maintenance?

Power + Vol up + home button will basically reformat your phone..
Power + Vol down + home button will send you to ODIN MODE and you're stuck there.
Delete this article. It is not helpful but will only harm your phone. I see you, just trying to help, but you're causing more problems.

Kid, what you say was partially true. The POWER+ VOLUME UP + HOME will reformat your phone only if you choose the option to WIPE DATA. If you choose WIPE CACHE PARTITION, it will NOT reformat your phone, but just clearing the cache. This is valid for most samsung phones.

No, Tanya, clearing your cache partition will not delete contacts, photos, or any user data or apps.

It is mandatory to keep your Android device clutter-free and well-organized. This is essential because if you keep on adding new apps and programs you may reach a point where you will end up having a cluttered menu.
