Samsung documents this route for Galaxy phones and tablets, but notes that labels and steps can vary with the software version and the app selected. Samsung Support: Clear the app cache and data on your Galaxy phone or tablet
Clear cache or clear data?
These are different actions. Clear cache deletes temporary files that the app can recreate. The next time you open it, the app may take longer while it rebuilds that temporary data, according to Google Android Help.

| Option | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Clear cache | Removes temporary data for the selected app. | Use it when troubleshooting that app or clearing its temporary files. |
| Clear data or Clear storage | Resets the app and removes its saved app data and settings. Google describes clearing storage as permanently deleting all app data. | Use only when you intend to reset the app and are prepared to set it up again. |
Samsung describes Clear data as returning an app to its factory-default settings and removing personal settings or data saved in it. Samsung Support and Google Android Help explain the distinction. Check the selected option before confirming: clearing data is not a stronger version of routine cache cleanup.
If your goal is to free up tablet storage
Clearing an app’s cache affects that app’s temporary files; it does not remove your photos, music, or other personal files. For device storage, Samsung documents separate Device Care tools for reviewing and deleting files. Google distinguishes storage, where files such as photos and music are kept, from memory, which apps and Android use to run. Samsung Support; Google Android Help.

Samsung also describes transferring eligible files to an SD card as a separate storage-management option. That does not clear app cache, and many apps cannot be moved to an SD card. Use file-management controls for large personal files rather than expecting an app-cache action to remove them. Samsung Support
Can you clear cache for every app at once?
Samsung’s described approach clears cache for a selected app; it says clearing cache on every app at the same time would require a factory reset. A factory reset is not an appropriate routine cache-cleaning method because it resets the device rather than simply clearing a specific app’s temporary files. Clear the cache only for the app you are troubleshooting. Samsung’s Device Care storage and memory tools are separate and are not a universal cache-clearing control. Samsung Support

If the menus look different
Open Settings > Apps, search for the app, and check its Storage page for Clear cache. Samsung warns that steps may vary by software version and app; Google likewise notes that Android settings differ by device. If you cannot find the option, consult Samsung support for your tablet model and software version instead of trying a factory reset. Samsung Support; Google Android Help
