Follow these instructions:

- Press thePOWERbutton to select it
- Press theVolume DOWNbutton to highlightYesand press thePOWERbutton to select it
- After the Cache Wipe is complete, menu items will reappear, withReboot system nowhighlighted

Note that repair system apps is also in the recovery menu if you need it.
The clearing of the system cache will not delete any files or settings.
