"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."
"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."
Roku released its first streaming device 17 years ago with Netflix and later produced multiple streaming players and Roku TVs. Roku TVs store temporary data (the cache) to accelerate app loading by remembering elements such as images and login credentials. Accumulated cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or overly full, causing sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync problems, and sudden error messages. Some Roku TVs lack a direct “clear cache” setting, but cache clearing remains important. A soft reset using the remote — Home five times, Up once, Rewind twice, Fast Forward twice — restarts the TV and clears the cache without removing apps or logins.
