App Cleaner

[Valentine]

Does anyone know of a decent Android app cleaner? My phone is getting slower. Most app cleaners I look at seem to want access too much private information like identity & contacts.

Does your phone not have one built in, my Huawai Y9 does. Otherwise C Cleaner can be installed, does it all.

Maybe I am paranoid but my concern was why do they need access to things like identity & contacts. Yes C Cleaner looks good

Most of your other apps do, so one more makes no difference. Another good alternative to C Cleaner, is Glary Utilities. I use on my PCs as well.....very good.

App cleaners a waste of space and battery power.  Clean your own cache and uninstall any apps you don't use.  Check the reviews and they will all verify what I've said.

I use Clean Master to permanently delete junk files on my phone.

Second that, delete any apps you dont need as they might use unnecessary background  processes, go to settings and type in "cache" and clean yourself. Job done.

Unless you got a samsung phone in which case they may be deliberately slowing it down as they like apple have been fined for it.
