What happened to "wipe cache partition" within the 8.1 beta?

It seems to be gone from the recovery menu in the 8.1.0 beta...

As far as I know the cache partition doesn't exist anymore on devices, like the Pixel, that include the seamless updates feature.

I was wondering the same thing and you are correct, it is gone in 8.0. You can still clear the cache for individual apps, but not overall.

I thought it was gone in the OG Pixels.

I am an original Pixel owner and I never remember seeing this or being able to do this. Individual apps, yes but not the cache partition in general.

This is a good article about the seamless updates and the changes made on the system partitions.

This article, https://www.bestusefultips.com/wipe-cache-partition-on-android-oreo/, implies that it can be done on Pixel and Pixel XL devices running Android 8.0.

I guess it is incorrect.

Strange, this is the first time I've seen that's possible. As far as I know they removed the cache partition after they included the seamless updates and changed the system partitions.

I do not think it is possible; that article is probably incorrect/wishful thinking. Note that the one image that is missing is one that actually shows the full recovery menu.

Haha. Yeah, pretty much.
