How Can I Wipe the Cache Partition on 7.1, Android 10?

[lejaune]

My phone is getting progressively slower in the last year and one suggestion was to do a cache partition wipe by booting into recovery mode. I tried holding the Vol Up + Power buttons to turn on the phone but there is no indication that it entered recovery mode. If I continue to hold both buttons, it seems to turn off again. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Try those buttons again and please know when to release the power button

Thanks.
After a several tries, I did bring up the little green Android man, but nothing else happens. The text in the middle of the screen says "No Command".

Ok, I did boot into the recovery mode, but there is no "Wipe cach partition" options. Only "Wipe data/factory reset", followed by Mount /system, which is not what I want. Is the wipe cache option no longer available on Android 10?

Make sure your phone is connected to a cable

Yes, I did. That seems to be the only way to get into the recovery mode. However, I did some search and found that since Android 9, Android no longer use "cache partition", thus no cache partition to wipe. Is this true? Here is one of the links:
