Tips for using the internal cache directory of the application

We advise you to limit the volume of data stored in cache and to delete this data as soon as it is no longer used.
The data stored in the cache directory of the application on the internal storage space cannot be accessed by the other applications.
SysCacheExternalStorage is used to find out the path of the cache directory of the application on the external memory of the device.
