How to Clear App Cache on Vizio SmartCast or LG Smart TV

Faster retrieval of information means quicker loading of your apps and websites. Since your device or app stores data from your previous visits and activities, it is easier for it to retrieve this information for loading.

But, too much cache and cookies browsing data can also turn things around. Even when they primarily help in loading your browsers or apps faster, they slow them down. That is the reason why most troubleshooting tips recommend you empty or clear your app cache and browsing data on your device. Clearing the cache will help increase the loading time of your app. It also helps your apps perform better and fix common issues if your TV is not working.

If you are using either a Vizio SmartCast TV or an LG Smart TV, you should also delete the cache on your streaming apps whenever necessary. It is not always a regular activity to clear the cache. Sometimes, you don’t have to if nothing is wrong with your installed apps. But, when you need to take things up a notch, it helps to know how to do it.
