Default Re: Problems moving cache

By the way, you cannot use the "clear cache" button in Android Browser ever again, or your symlink will be destroyed and the browser will start caching in the flash mem again. Using "clear user data" in the applications menu seems to do the same thing. To clear out the sdcard caches periodically, I just cd to each subdirectory and:

rm -R *

Be very careful when/where you issue this command because it will recursively delete every file in the directory you issue this command, and there's no trash can in linux: deleted means deleted. I always issue the "ls" command right before I clear out a directory to make sure I can see exactly what's about to go.

Have fun!
