How to clear App Data or Cache on Android devices in bulk?

App data on Android devices refers to both cached data and other important data including login details and preference settings of the application. This cached data is used by the application to reduce the time taken by the app to load. However, storing app data in bulk on your device can take a toll on your device’s storage, and hence reduce its functionality. Clearing app data releases a lot of free space and helps declutter the device. Hexnode UEM provides you with the ability to remotely clear app data on your Android devices. This feature comes quite handy when you are trying to remotely troubleshoot device(s).
