When I installed the Facebook app on my 4S it was about 15MB. A week later, it has grown to 92MB! I'm sure it's caching images and what not. Is there any way to purge this cached data? At this rate, the app will be over 500MB by Christmas lol!

Thanks!

Mine has settled in around 120MB. I'm guessing it's cached pictures.


To delete cache,

Settings> General> Usage> Manage Storage> Select app> Edit> Delete All
That'll only delete the app's data in iCloud. The path to the local data is:

Settings > General > Usage > Select app

There is no way to only delete the local cached data without deleting the app as well.

The only thing I could find is this:
Settings / General / Reset / Erase All Content and Settings
