WeChat has launched a new function, the internal testing of the deep cleaning function, which can clean up WeChat storage space with one click

[[429252]]

With the continuous update and iteration of new versions of WeChat, WeChat has more and more functions, and the storage space it occupies on mobile phones is also increasing, basically exceeding 2GB. If it is used frequently, the storage space occupied by WeChat can be as high as more than 10GB, or even hundreds of GB.

Therefore, WeChat is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, which is also an important point of complaint for WeChat users. Perhaps the Tencent official team has also discovered the problem of WeChat taking up a huge amount of storage space, and now they have finally made changes.

Recently, the WeChat official team has been testing a new feature in a small range - Deep Cleanup. Through this feature, users can clean up temporary data generated by WeChat in one click to free up some storage space occupied by WeChat.

The specific operation method is:

On the WeChat interface, click the search icon in the upper right corner, then enter recover in the search box, find the "WeChat Repair Tool" function from the search list and click to enter.

If you are an internal tester of this feature, you will see the "Deep Cleaning" function switch at the bottom of this interface, just turn it on.

So, how do you use WeChat’s “deep cleaning” tool?

There are many introductions on the Internet about how to use this tool, but after Xiaoyu tested it, he found that most of the introductions on the Internet were wrong and did not reflect the true meaning of this "deep cleaning" at all.

The tutorials on the Internet say that after turning on the deep cleaning switch, go to [WeChat-Me-Settings-General-WeChat Storage Space] in sequence, you will see a "cache" function and just click to clean it up.

In fact, the "cache" function of WeChat is not part of the internal test this time, but has been launched in the old version. Even if you do not turn on the "deep cleaning" function, this buffer function still exists.

So, what changes will occur after turning on the "deep cleaning" function in this WeChat internal test? Xiaoyu did a test.

It is still in the "WeChat Storage Space" interface.

Take Xiaoyu's phone as an example. Under normal circumstances, the buffer detected by WeChat is only 4KB. Then return to the "WeChat Repair Tool" and turn on the "Deep Cleaning" tool. Without doing anything else, enter the WeChat storage space again and you can see that the detected buffer is as much as 666.5MB.

Through this test, it can be seen that the "deep cleaning" of this WeChat internal test does not add a buffer cleaning function, but makes the previous buffer cleaning function more powerful.

The above is Xiaoyu's introduction to the "Deep Cleaning" function of WeChat. If you cannot find the "Deep Cleaning" option in the "WeChat Repair Tool", it means that you are not a beta user or your WeChat is not the latest version. It is recommended to update WeChat to the latest version before trying again. If this function still does not appear, you can only wait patiently for the subsequent full launch.

Finally, let’s compare notes in the comments section to see how much storage space your WeChat takes up.
