How to Clear Your Smart TV Cache (and Why It's Worth Doing)
1 min read
Summary
Smart TV storage contains a portion called the cache which stores information on frequently used apps, images and more, in order to improve performance and speed up loading times.
Over time this cache can build up and begin to slow down your smart TV, and so it can help to clear the cache periodically to improve smart TV performance.
The cache on smart TVs works in a similar way to that on smartphones or laptops, storing frequently used data so that it does not need to reload each time.
To clear the cache on smart TVs with the Google TV platform, users should go to the settings menu, select ‘System’ and then ‘Storage’, before choosing ‘Internal shared storage’ and then ‘Cached data’.
Doing this will speed up your TV, fix bugs and free up storage space – doing it per app can also be effective.
