Edit
Did I say anything?

After you reboot, Dalvik cache and Cache are re-created.

wrong....
you can loosr every cache related data from your apps..... eg:
if you are signed in XDA app and have set some params (like color= dark theme) then those stuff goes into dalvik cache...(art in cm12) those stuff will be loosed
depending on "how" your app does savegames you can also loose savegames (most games will save it in other folders so its not often)

But from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/solved-memory-problems-xperia-l-t2496895 it said that cleaning dalvik cache is the solution for internal memory leak.
Do you have any solution?? as you can see from my screenshot that a system files take around 1GB space and XL only have 4GB

Was thinking of this.....could this be possible or just another cache / dalvik cleaner?

Yep, no registry on Android.
I think you're looking for something like App Cache Cleaner or CacheCleaner NG to clean out app cache that builds up.
Cleaning Dalvik cache can be done by booting into recovery but you don't really need to routinely do this.
There is also SD Maid but I believe this cleans more rigorously, so be sure you know what you're doing.
Yeah I know of the cache cleaners..
Alright well thanks!

Sd maid is a great utility. Its one of the few that actual scan the system for left over files and not just cache. But as advised. Read before running it wide open.

So maybe I just don't understand what wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery means exactly, BUT I just wiped both (something I've been recommended to do many times to help with various issues) and I just noticed that all my browser tabs are still open... Shouldn't they have been cleared out?
Just confused...

It's my understanding that the cache is for bits & pieces of info that the system uses over and over but not significant enough to be stored in the limited but much faster RAM. Kinda like the cache on your hard drive. The dalvik cache, I think, is for info related to your apps and how they are to interact with your system and ROM communications with each other.
Your browser tabs, google, e-mail info and the like is stored in the 'user data/factory reset' recovery selection which is why you still have all that. It's info that you have input after flashing your ROM & setting it up along with the location of your apps on your desktop pages.
I THINK.........LOL
Hello,
please check my latest app called 'Clear Cache':
With Clear Cache you can clear all the Android caches on your device. Just hit the button and the corresponding cache on your device will be cleared. This can speed-up your device and of course it also helps to get more free internal memory.
Features:
-Clear App cache
-Clear Partition cache (needs root)
-Clear Dalvik cache (needs root)
-Show the current sizes of all those three caches (needs root)
Google Play
Maybe it's useful to someone
Very useful indeed. Thanks:good:
Seems pretty effective. Nice and simple too. Thanks.
thx for your replies
On my old android device with low free internal memory clearing the caches helped to speed to it up a bit.
That's why i created this app finally
after clearing dalvik im stuck on my boot logo (N7000 4.1.2 XXLT4) :/
is it building a new cache or what because after i cleared the cache the phone was really laggy and thats why i "killed" it so now its not booting :/ but i still have access to cwm
Thanks man

The app only clears the caches (=removes the cached files).
If you cleared the Dalvik-Cache the first boot after clearing could take a while, because Android will create this cache again. For example on Android 4+ this rebuilding process then is shown as something like "Optimizing Apps".
App and partition cache will be rebuilt on the fly by Android (if the system needs something cached).

ok, great
I got fed up with Clean master app. Should I use this one instead or is there a better one too?
Pretty useful. Thanks buddy!
As the title say, someone known how to wipe ART cache?

The advantages of ART is that it doesnt run from a cache folder but directly from the apps. No need to clean. (Some body correct me if wrong)
I believe it pre-compiles similar to Dalvik, but more in advance. I know apps use more space in ART vs Dalvik.

i get around 600MB back switching back to Dalvik

It is true that storage usage increases when ART is enabled, but it doesn't mean ART uses more space than dalvik. It's a misconception from people. What happens is that when you turn on ART, the folders "cache/dalvik-cache & data/dalvik-cache" stay untouched taking a huge space. Use a file explorer and confirm.
If you wipe those 2 folders, you might gain even more space back than what you had using dalvik.
I think this can be closed Thanks

I have 4.2 JB on LG p500. Before rooting I use to clear cache to gain some internal space but now when I'm doing this it decreases the space ,and when I have stopped clearing cache the internal space is increasing by the same amount as the cache.
I'm confused what to make of this. Can anyone throw some light on this? Thanks a lot in advance
