Sometimes, when an Android smartphone such as Samsung Galaxy goes through a software update, it may cause troubles due to the bulk of cached files. These files may be causing your phone to malfunction.
Deleting cached files one by one may take a lot of time. Usually, cache files are the leftover scraps of all the applications installed on your phone. After you receive a system upgrade, these apps may also be updated to the latest versions to stay compatible with your phone’s software. This procedure results in a lot of cached files and system junk which occupy most or all of your phone’s memory. Hence, you experience troubles while using your Android, which used to work seamlessly well before the update.

Doing a factory reset clears up all third-party data files, any downloaded apps, and files stored within the internal phone memory. However, the data stored within the SD card may remain safe.
