How To Clear The Cache On Your Roku TV
Engadget • • technology
Key Points:
- Roku TVs and streaming devices can slow down over time due to aging hardware, outdated software, apps, or slow internet connections, but updating to the latest software can resolve bugs and improve performance.
- Clearing the cache on a Roku device can help speed up performance by removing accumulated and potentially corrupted cached data, although Roku does not provide a dedicated cache-clearing option.
- Users can clear the cache by pressing a specific sequence of buttons on the remote, performing a full system restart via Settings, or power cycling the device by unplugging it for 30 seconds.
- Clearing the cache may lead to faster app loading and a snappier experience, and it is generally recommended to do this about once a month or when performance issues arise.
- Unlike some Android TV devices, Roku does not currently allow clearing the cache for individual apps, which would be more efficient when only one app is causing problems.
