How to Delete the App Cache on the iPhone 10

Finally, we are about to learn how to clear the cache that eats up space in your iCloud account. There is a difference between the instructions for the iCloud and other physical devices because of storage space on the iCloud works a little differently.
If your iCloud account storage space is full, then follow the instructions highlighted below.

Launch the Settings menu
Tap the icon with your name at the top of the screen
Click on iCloud
Tap the Manage Storage option
You can then select an app that is occupying too much space on iCloud

There are many options to choose from here. If you click on Delete Documents and Data for a particular application, all app data will be wiped from iCloud for that app, and it cannot be recovered.
If you are confused by this process, then take your time. If you feel the app is important to you, then do not click on Delete Documents and Data. But if the reverse is the case, then you should delete the app.
At the bottom of the screen, you might encounter a section titled Documents & Data. If you find some files under this section, you can delete them independently by swiping left. Confirm the deletion afterward.
You should only clear the data if you are sure you do need any information about the app which might include passwords, usernames, settings, game progress, files, and preferences.
Freeing up space on your phone won’t fix all lag issues. Sometimes, your phone is just getting old and showcasing expected signs. It could also mean there is a more pertinent issue that needs to be dealt with.
If after completing the steps above, your iPhone 10 is still slow, you need to make an appointment at the closest Apple Store. Be sure to back up your phone before visiting.
