Today i received the October security updates
Yep, got mine yesterday in the UK. Gained 1/2 Gb of storage but I think it will soon disappear as it did with the Oreo update.

Those are different processes and delete different files. The cache partition wipe from recovery will delete temporary system files and it won't free additional storage, since this partition is reserved. Clearing cached data from the settings (apps or storage) will delete files used by your apps and it will give you some extra free storage.You can do complete cache wipe either from recovery or from the bootloader. Either are safe and will cause no problems. I did it on mine from recovery immediately after first boot from the upgrade.
Talking about the update and storage. After the latest update if you go to settings - storage it takes ages for the screen to load. Have you noticed that? It's been the same on a G5+ and a G5S+.Yep, got mine yesterday in the UK. Gained 1/2 Gb of storage but I think it will soon disappear as it did with the Oreo update.

Strange, double checked now and it took almost two minutes. I'll try wiping the cache partition again.No, on my G5 it's instantaneous.
Yet, that will work. Temporarily. When you open and begin using the app, the cache will rebuild. It is there to speed up load times, continually deleting it does no good in the long run.Those are different processes and delete different files.
