Abstract

A method for cleaning files stored in a mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal receives a file cleaning instruction from a user. In response to the file cleaning instruction, the mobile terminal identifies cache files based on the cache files' associated information and past user activities on the cache files and groups the identified cache files and their associated information into multiple cache file categories. At least one of the multiple cache file categories is located in an extended storage device of the mobile terminal (e.g., a SD card). Next, the mobile terminal displays information of the multiple cache file categories on the display, each cache file category having an associated file cleaning option and cleans at least one of the multiple cache file categories from the mobile terminal in accordance with a user choice of the corresponding file cleaning option.
