How to clear ALL app cache in 7.1.1?

There used to be an option - I think in 'storage' - to clear ALL application cache at once, but I can't find this any more. Please don't tell me I have to clear the cache one app at a time - this will take hours! Can anyone suggest an app I can download that can monitor the storage & allow me to clear the cache? I used to have one (icon like a broom) but it seems to have vanished.

Yes; there should be an option to clear all apps cache, from your screenshot:

  1. Tap Internal shared storage, then find and tap Cached data > OK.

Hi @Alami8;

To clear all apps cache:

  1. From your Home screen, tap Icn sony home apptray normal.
  2. Find and tap Settings > Storage & memory.
  3. Tap Internal shared storage, then find and tap Cached data > OK.
  4. If you have a memory card inserted, tap Storage > Internal shared storage.

Thank you - but this is my point - there IS NO option to clear the cache in storage - I cannot even see it! in the storage section! The steps you describe are precisely what I used to do, but there is no longer anything to click in the storage section of the phone - absolutely nothing to clear the cache. This is why I am asking the question - if the option was still there in Storage I wouldn't need to ask! Please see attached screenshot - this is all I can see in the storage section - absolutely nothing except the data used....Screenshot_20180628-105309.png
