yes, boot the device in recovery mode

Boot Modes

Recovery

With the device powered off - hold Volume Down + Power, then select “Recovery mode” using Volume keys.

choose “factory reset” → “wipe cache partition”

Sorry, not on my FP6 - I only have ‘Wipe data / factory reset’ with the sub-item ‘Factory data reset’, which as far as I know deletes everything.

Or am I doing something wrong? (Volume up + Power on / volume down + recovery mode)
NOTE: Bootloader is locked

That’s exactly what I found on my phone. I was wondering if I did something wrong and therefore didn’t yet answer. Thank You for this post.

Pretty sure the option @piero-e mentioned does not exist in the FP recovery.

Not exactly the same but consider cache cleaner app on fdroid. I use it to clear the cache of all installed apps after a system update. Works well.
