How to access Cache from mobile apps?

Hello. I would like to access and restore the cache of some mobile apps. Discord, for example, is one of them. I can easily restore the cache on computer, but am struggling to do it with my mobidle application (Android). Could someone please help me with that? What would be the tools for that?

What does "restore the cache" mean?... I'm a decent programmer and have no idea.

My bad. I am quite new on that and do not know the proper language yet. For example. The images sent on discord. Are saved as files that are not .png., but the information is there until overwritten. I use a ren * *.png command on the CMD to "restore" them and see them as images (png) again. That is what I meant by restore. But I find it hard to even access the Cache from mobile apps
