Cache wipe in recovery mode removed by LG?

[mwake4goten]

I used to perform a cache wipe in recovery mode for all my previous phones...it really helped to deal with performance issues especially after installing or removing appa and also was the easiest thing to do to restore performance before having to consider a time consuming nuclear full reset.

However it seems that for Oreo 8.0.0 LG have disabled the cache wipe in recovery mode.

I am on a carrier locked unrooted phone and from some googling it seems like lg have removed this ability. Can any other LG users with Oreo users confirm that the cache wipe in recovery mode has been disabled/removed? And if so what what otheer alternative method has LG put into place to replicate this useful function? Thanks

I just did a cache wipe...still present and functional.
