"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."
"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. If you've entered the sequence correctly, your Roku TV will freeze for a moment and then restart, clearing out that troublesome cache."
Roku devices store temporary data called cache to speed up app loading by retaining elements like images and login information. Accumulated cache can become cluttered, corrupted, or too full, causing sluggish performance, app freezes, audio-video sync issues, and error messages. Clearing the cache can resolve these issues. A soft reset using the Roku remote performs cache clearing without performing a factory reset. The remote sequence is: Home five times, Up once, Rewind twice, Fast Forward twice. When entered correctly, the Roku TV will freeze briefly, restart, and clear the cache while preserving downloaded apps and login information.
