"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; when you open an app, instead of redownloading everything from scratch, your Roku remembers certain elements, like images or login information. 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,"
"This operation reminds me of the cheat codes you'd punch into an original Nintendo game pad -- a bit antiquated, but also nostalgic. To be clear, this isn't a factory reset; you won't lose your downloaded apps or login information for your various streaming services. Grab your Roku remote and: Press the Home button five times. Press the Up arrow once. Press the Rewind button twice. Press the Fast Forward button twice."
The first Roku device launched 17 years ago in partnership with Netflix to stream the "Watch Instantly" service, and Roku later released multiple streaming players and Roku TVs. Roku TVs store temporary cache data to speed app loading by saving elements like images and login information. Over time the cache can become cluttered or corrupted, causing sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync problems, and error messages. Clearing the cache helps restore smooth operation. Two quick methods clear the cache: a soft reset using a remote button sequence that restarts without deleting apps or logins, and a power-cycle restart.
