Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for cleaning up files in a cache. The method comprises: acquiring filtering rules for carrying out file cleanup from a server so as to carry out storage; scanning folders in the cache and determining folders to be cleaned up; according to the filtering rules, filtering files in the folders to be cleaned up, which do not need to be cleaned up; and cleaning up the rest of files in the filtered folders to be cleaned up. The method solves the problem that when the folders comprise the files which do not need to be cleaned up, the folders are retained and are not cleaned up, so that the cache is incompletely cleaned up; and the method obtains the beneficial effects of saving cache resources, improving device performance and avoiding the files being deleted by mistake.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and device for clearing files in cache. Background technique [0002] When the application is running on the device, it will generate some junk files in the cache. As more and more applications are installed on the device, the junk files in the cache also increase. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a technology for cleaning up junk files in the cache to release cache resources occupied by junk files and improve device performance. [0003] In the prior art, the technique for cleaning the cache includes: scanning the cache, taking the folder as the unit, deleting the folder when all the files in the folder are junk files that need to be cleaned up, and deleting the folder when the folder includes files that do not need to be cleaned up. When files are saved, folders are kept and not cleaned up. [0004] The defect of the prior art is that when the folder includes...
