"What is a cache? 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."
"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."
Roku launched its first device 17 years ago, developed with Netflix to stream Watch Instantly. Roku devices and Roku TVs store temporary cache data to speed app loading by remembering images and login details. Accumulated cache can become cluttered or corrupted and cause sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync problems, or error messages. Roku does not always offer a direct 'clear cache' button, but cache clearing remains important. The quickest, non-destructive method is a remote soft reset that restarts the TV without removing apps or logins. The soft reset involves a Home/up/rewind/fast-forward button sequence and clears cached data.
