Roku, known for its streaming devices since its inception with Netflix 17 years ago, offers a feature to clear its cache, which stores temporary data for quicker app loading. Over time, this cache may become cluttered, causing slow performance, app freezes, or error messages during streaming. Unlike many smart TVs with a clear cache button, Roku requires a specific remote sequence for a soft reset to clear the cache without losing downloaded apps. Regularly clearing the cache can enhance the user experience when streaming content.
Over time, this cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or just plain too full, leading to sluggish performance, apps freezing, and error messages when streaming content.
Roku is somewhat unique compared with other smart TVs that might have a direct 'clear cache' button buried in the settings, but clearing the cache is still an option.
To clear your Roku cache, you can perform a soft reset using a specific sequence of remote control commands that doesn't affect your downloaded apps.
The method to clear the cache on Roku devices, while a bit nostalgic, reminds users of cheat codes from past gaming consoles.
