I. What is the cache file on the Android SD card?

Compared with computers, many mobile phones have insufficient capacity to meet your daily use needs. Because when you use the application, the mobile phone will periodically generate temporary files in the folder where the application is located to store some information, and these temporary files are called cache files, which will occupy part of the storage space of the mobile phone or SD card.
Cache files exist to provide a better application experience. When you open a certain application program, these cache files will respond quickly in the background to meet your operation needs, and at the same time continuously update new operation records and generate new cache files.
Although cache files are often cleared by some users to save more storage space, many important cached information may not be found to have been deleted by mistake until you use them, such as account passwords, photos, emails, videos, etc. wait. At this time, you need to restore the deleted cache files. The following editor will teach you a very simple and practical operation method to help you easily restore the cache files on the SD card.
