how do i clear facebook cache properly?

My daughter did this for me once and now i can't remember how to clear facebook cache. I found an older thread about it but the menu it describes doesn't exist any more. Is there an order to this?

If you use Messenger as well, that's a separate app with its own cache, and it gets just as big. Same steps on Android, clear it on its own entry in Apps.

On Android it's phone Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage > Clear cache. Don't hit Clear data unless you want to log in again. iPhone doesn't give you a cache button for apps. Inside Facebook there's a clear browsing data option in settings (it's for the in-app browser), but if the app's grown huge the only real fix is deleting and reinstalling it. Offloading keeps the junk, so that doesn't help.
