Know what you are about to remove

Cache usually stores temporary resources used by an app. App data can include login details, playlists and preferences. Device menus may present these options beside each other, but they do not have the same effect. Read the current device and developer guidance before selecting either.

Close the player and look for supported storage controls

Use the app or device settings only if the platform offers a cache option for that player. Menu names differ across televisions, boxes, phones and computers. Do not follow an Android menu sequence on a platform that does not provide the same controls.

Retest before taking a more disruptive step

Reopen the player and check the original problem. If it remains, compare a second authorised source and inspect network or account conditions. Clearing temporary files will not renew an expired service or restore an unavailable programme.

Prepare before clearing data or reinstalling

Record the verified player name and a secure route to recover your account details. Reinstalling may remove settings or trigger a separate player activation process. Avoid repeated resets without diagnosing the cause, especially on a shared television.

Frequently asked questions

Will clearing cache delete my subscription?+

Cache and service account state are separate, but device behaviour varies. Avoid the clear-data option unless you understand its effect.

Why is there no cache button on my TV?+

Not every operating system exposes the same app-storage controls. Consult that platform’s support instructions.
