Clearing Cache/Clearing Data of Apps on Fire TV

Cache has the data of the app that is frequently used by you as it saves the frequently used information and provides faster access to reduce the average time to access the data.

But sometimes the cache takes up very much space and there is a need to free up that space, also sometimes we have to clear data of the apps too.

The procedure is almost like uninstalling an app

  • Navigate to the “Settings” on the Fire TV device with the help of the TV remote.
  • Select “Applications” from the settings.
  • When you tap on “Manage installed Applications” all the apps installed on your device will show up.
  • Select the app whose cache or data you want to clear.
  • Then select the “Clear Cache” option to clear the cache memory of the app, and the “Clear Data” option to clear the data of the app.

Now you are free to download new apps on your Fire TV without any trouble, and your TV will also function properly.
