In this guide, you will learn how to wipe cache partition on HTC One M9. HTC One M9 was a flagship smartphone of 2015 and it comes with some great specs which were top of the line features at that time.

What is Cache Partition?
Cache Partition is the dedicated space in the memory where apps save their caches. The cache is the data that apps and system apps need for their functionality. The apps store the data such as your preferences, your login information, and other details in these caches.
How Wiping the Cache Partition Boost the performance of HTC One M9?
The cache was created to make things quicker so that you don’t have to do simple tasks such as login and other every time you open the app and it works to some extent. However, whenever you install any app, it downloads some temporary data and puts it in the cache.
When you delete the app, the cache still stays there which ends up cluttering your smartphone and the performance of your smartphone gets compromised to some extent. So, whenever you wipe the cache partition, the system deletes all the caches and your smartphone gets the minor performance bump which means a lot especially in case of older phones such as HTC One M9.
