Deleting CACHE Partition

[TMavC5]

Trying to get into the CACHE partition deletion. When long-pressing POWER and UP arrow, let go of power after the logo and continue to hold Volume Up. The only options I got are Power off, factory reset, and reboot.

Any idea what's going on here?

Welcome to the most recent "update". Samsung has disabled this ability, if not with One UI 8 for your device, then with one of the recent security patch updates. Having seen this multiple times in recent weeks I asked Google what Samsung has put in place to replace this option. This was the reply.

Samsung has removed the "Wipe Cache Partition" option from the recovery menu on newer devices (e.g., Galaxy S25/S26, Fold 7) with Feb 2026 updates, restricting it to only Reboot, Factory Reset, and Power Off. This is replaced by automatic system maintenance during reboots and improved Android Runtime (ART) optimizations.
