Missing cache cleaning after the update
Hello. After the last update of the phone I can not understand how to clear the cache. There is no such function.

~~Пропала функция очистки кэша после обновления~~

Здравствуйте. После последнего обновления телефона никак не могу понять, как очистить кэш. Такая функция отсутствует.

Thank you very much for your help. I meant that there is no one-button cleaning, as before

~~Большое спасибо за помощь. Я имела ввиду, что нет полностью очистки одной кнопкой, как раньше~~

That's how Android works now, it's not up to Sony but Google

Hi @YaninaZelenaya, welcome to our forum!

As @uliwooly wrote, the option to clear cached data for all applications at once has been removed in Android 8.0 and this is a decision that Google made and is not an Xperia design.

To clear cached data in Android 8.0 you will need to do it manually for each application.

I hope that explains why this feature is no longer available!

You can also get Google's new app called "Files Go", it's a file browser and cleaner in one app where you can clear cache with one tap.

That is a very good recommendation @Quester, thanks a lot!
