Since my extremely detailed Samsung recovery tutorial is old, I looked it
up for you and found this reference which may help you get back to normal.
  *How to Clear System Cache on Samsung Galaxy (Android 12 and Newer)*
  *What Replaced Wipe Cache Partition in 2026*
 <https://thedroidguy.com/clear-system-cache-samsung-galaxy-android-12-1244016>

Your S24 FE runs Android 14 / One UI 6, where Samsung removed the cache
partition entirely, so without that partition, on the Galaxy S22, S23, S24,
S25 series the "Wipe cache partition" option simply does not exist anymore.
 *Recovery mode missing options*
 <https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s/recovery-mode-missing-options/td-p/37579802>

On the Galaxy S24 series (including the FE), Samsung removed:
 a. Wipe cache partition
 b. Repair apps
 c. Apply update from ADB
 d. Apply update from SD card
 e. Run graphics test
 f.  View recovery logs	 

The February 2026 security update removed nearly all advanced recovery-mode
tools from many Galaxy phones, leaving only:
 a. Reboot system now
 b. Wipe data/factory reset
 c. Power off
 *Recovery mode only has 3 options S24FE*

Even though you can't wipe the system cache anymore, you can still clear
cache for specific apps  
 Settings > Apps > (App) > Storage > Clear cache 
Do that for all apps that use GPS, such as... 
 a. Maps
 b. Waze
 c. Samsung Location Services

You might also want to reset network settings
 Settings > General management > Reset > Reset network settings

For your GPS issue you can reset AGPS data (indirectly) with this tool.
