Deleting Cache with Tasker!

[Jan]

Hi guys

I'd like to delete my Google Play Services Cache automatically with Tasker.

    busybox find /data/data/com.google.android.gms/ -type d -iname "cache*" -exec busybox rm -f {}/ ';' -exec echo "Cleared {}" ';'

I found this string on the internet. For some reason, it doesn't work for me. I set up a task in Tasker, put the command inside "Run Shell" and executed it to try if it works; it does not!

Any kind of help is much appreciated!

Cheers

Jan

Yes, I did. It's also showing the superuser rights notification.

It doesn't delete anything however, from what I can tell.

You could try something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yii4EWdxXPo

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, you have to pay to use AutoShare, which is required to make this solution work.

I'm not against paying generally, but as there are more direct options (clearing the data in the android.gms folder), I'd much prefer to make those work.

You could use java code to clear all caches. I don't think Tasker has the permission CLEAR_APP_CACHE, but I think you could export the task as app adding the permission. In this way, however, you delete all caches.

And there is no possibility to clear only certain cache with Java Code?

Because clearing all cache is not really my intention.

No, you can't
