Dear Support,

We have a few business apps installed on dedicated Android devices (without user account). Looking for a way to clear the cache for a particular installed app using Intune.

Please note, we disabled the in-built settings app to prevent users from making changes. Is it possible to define a configuration policy for the chosen app to remove the cache?

    Hi, there is not simple option to clear the cache of installed apps. Besides that, you could try to use PowerShell-scripts in combination with the following;

    Thank you so much for your help, Crystal-MSFT & patrickmeeuwis!

    I submitted my question to the Intune feedback portal.

    For the time being, all managed users have the settings option enabled.
