Roku devices, launched 17 years ago with Netflix, use cache storage for faster app loading. However, clogging can cause performance slowdowns and issues like freezing or sync problems. Clearing the cache is essential to maintaining optimal operation. Unlike many smart TVs with a clear cache option, Roku users need to follow a specific remote sequence to accomplish this. Performing this soft reset does not erase apps or login data, making it an efficient way to enhance the device's performance.
Just like your computer or smartphone, your Roku TV also stores temporary data (the cache) to help apps load faster. It's like a digital shortcut.
Over time, this cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or just plain too full. When that happens, it can lead to sluggish performance, apps freezing, audio-video sync issues.
Roku is somewhat unique compared with other smart TVs that might have a direct 'clear cache' button buried in the settings.
To clear your Roku cache, press the Home button five times, the Up arrow once, then the Rewind button twice, followed by the Fast Forward button twice.
