07-24-2012 09:28 AMIt clears out temporary files.. think of it like cleaning your room.. doing a system wide cache wipe is cleaning your room on a grand scale, doing per app is just cleaning a cubical...

07-24-2012 09:43 AMDoing it from recovery ensures that no apps are running, therefore nothing would be missed. If using an app, it's a possibility some of the cache could be missed due to running apps that aren't properly killed.

07-24-2012 09:45 AMExcellent. So i think i should just delete my cache cleaner, and do it from recovery from now on. Anyone have a theory on how often this should be done? Originally Posted by cobravnm13

07-24-2012 01:11 PMOnce a day, once a week, once a month, depends on if you feel you need it. You can do it whenever your phone feels sluggish, if you want. That doesn't always work for me. You can take 94lt1's suggestion on once a week and that should be fine for you. It also depends on how quickly you get tired of doing it.

07-24-2012 01:43 PMI do a hard reset and clear out the cache usually once a week, just keeping things fresh and clean as possible.
