I like to clean my iphone cache every now and then but with 8.4, the free version of phone clean no longer works. I would not like to pay 20 bucks for a software I rarely use. Is there an alternative? I just like the to free my phone of memory.
Use BatteryDoctor.
It has a function that seems to work in deleting other app's cache. I've used it for a while now, and it seems to work.
I don't know how it works, but it does.

But yeah, I know how infuriating it is that iOS doesn't have a clear cache function for apps. So much potentially useful space gone to waste unless you clear the junk.
Are you sure BD still works? I have used it for some time but it has been a while since it has cleared any cache. Lately all I get is a "no junk files to clean" msg. when I attempt to clean up cache.
Works for me on iOS 8.4.1.Are you sure BD still works? I have used it for some time but it has been a while since it has cleared any cache. Lately all I get is a "no junk files to clean" msg. when I attempt to clean up cache.
"Cleaning" the phone is a waste of time. But if you have an obsession about it, just restart the phone when the urge hits.
The best way to clear the cache is to do a backup and restore. After this, you end up with a freshly installed ios, you don't lose your data and the cache files get deleted.
What exactly are you cleaning? The space used up by some apps? You can usually do that by uninstalling and app and reinstalling it again--typically there shouldn't be that many apps that use that much space that it would be worth cleaning up like that.
Agreed. Unfortunately such an option doesn't really exist, and using a "backdoor" one built into some semi-hidden part of some apps isn't something that really seems to always work (or work well), and who knows what else it could potentially result in.Yes, this also works. But it's all about convenience. Something like a clear cache option, like there is on Android, would be so much more convenient. Reinstalling apps or even restoring from a backup are too much work just to delete some junk.

Usually that happens. Make sure you have tried cleaning a few times.
Apparently it scans different parts of the flash at different times, so some scans may remove more junk than others.
I use Battery Doctor, now on 8.4.1 as well, and it does seem to find space to give me back on a regular basis but doesnt seem to have a big impact on Facebook and Twitter which both seem to get very large as they cache things. Every so often i will delete and reinstall those two apps which only takes a few minutes but you get the space back.
I tried to GET Battery Doctor from the app store and after the install button it goes back to GET. Is it no longer downloadable?
It actually works. I know, I was surprised too.Are people actually see Battery doctor remove stuff? As in if you check the free space before and after, does it increase by that amount? I thought apps werent even allowed to touch the sandboxes of other apps period. (even before the 8.4)
I remember a cache cleaning app that just popped out random numbers each time. Didnt free up both RAM/Disk space as it claimed to when i checked using a systems app.
Try again, I guess. It's still there.I tried to GET Battery Doctor from the app store and after the install button it goes back to GET. Is it no longer downloadable?
Yeah, too much freedom.Phew good thing I got it yesterday, Apple must be reading this thread. Can't have users cleaning their own phone you know
