    I was under the impression that all of the so-called “cleaner” apps were to be avoided. I take this was one of the good ones?

    Edit: re-read article, it sounds like it was one of the good ones.

      Yes, unfortunately it was probably the only real cleaner on the store. Probably the google bot didn’t like that it was using accessibility controls to delete the cache of all apps (a regular app can’t do this without root, so it was simulating human action to browse app by app and click on “delete cache”)

      One of the good ones for many years. One of the few great rooted apps I’d paid for and would install after every fresh rom flash.

      I can confirm this has been a really good app for rooted users for years, also FOSS.

      It’s just sad what Google did
