Where are cached files contained on a device?

Cached files are typically stored in locations designated for temporary data storage that applications can use to enhance performance. These files help applications load faster by keeping frequently accessed data readily available.

While it's true that cached files may not fit neatly into specific application categories or media for user files, they generally reside in temporary storage areas allocated by the operating system. This allows apps to save and retrieve files quickly as needed without directly impacting the main system storage.

The choice regarding "Applications," "Media," and "Temporary Storage" suggests these areas are either too specific or inaccurately categorized when it comes to the broader context of where file caching occurs. Therefore, selecting "Other" acknowledges that cached files exist in a unique storage system that may not be classified strictly under standard categories like Applications or Media, but rather in an overarching category that covers various types of temporary or system-level data storage.
