Root [Verizon] Clear Cache in VZW Rooted Note 3

[recDNA]

My note 3 is rooted using safestrap because the bootloader is locked. Is there an app that will clear system cache? I don't mean app cache. I mean doing the same thing as going into recovery to clear cache but without the hassle of going into recovery? Thanks

I use the Pro version of SD Maid clears cache and a lot more.

That does not appear to be system cache. It looks like app cache, empty folders, etc.

An app that can clean system Cache would likely also have an option to clear dalvik

If you're talking just about /data/dalvik-cache, then here's my thoughts:

1. Running apps have their .dex files open, so if you wanted to delete everything, you'd have to explicitly stop those processes (which brings it own issues to deal with)

2. I'm sure you could delete the non-open .dex files, but the question is, what happens if you delete a .dex file and then try to invoke (start) an app whose .dex file has just (unexpectedly) been deleted? :dontknow: Android will, of course, build the .dex files when rebooting or installing an app, but not sure what'll happen (will Android just rebuild it on-the-fly? not sure...I might try this on an old device to see )

Anyway, it's an interesting question, for sure .

I do not wish to clear dalvik. i want to clear system cacbe as opposed to app caches. normally you wipe system cache in recovery. i just figured an app tbat can truly wipe system cache would have an option I would. never choose to wipe dalvik
