Below are the two quickest and most effective ways to clear your Roku cache."
"Soft reset your Roku using the remote 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."
Roku launched its first device 17 years ago with Netflix and now offers multiple streaming players and Roku TVs, so many users may own older hardware. Roku TVs store temporary cache data to speed app loading by remembering elements like images and login details. Over time the cache can become cluttered or corrupted, causing sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync problems, or error messages. Roku does not always expose a direct clear-cache setting, but two quick methods exist to remove cached data. A soft reset via remote uses a button sequence and clears cache without erasing apps or login information; the TV will freeze briefly and then restart, taking a minute or two to reboot.
