A cache is where the device stores files from the apps you have opened in your Smart TV. These files or any other data are kept temporarily in your cache memory. The cache will use the data to help the app perform more efficiently. When you need the data the next time you want to open the app, it will get it from the cache memory and use it to run the app.

But, a lot of files stored in your cache memory can also take up space. That is why clearing the cache can be a benefit to your Smart TV. First, it helps free up some storage space in your app. It will remove temporary files that may be hogging up space.

Second, it can help fix issues that may stop you from using your app. Deleting the cache will also help delete files that may be causing a problem to your device. Lastly, it will boost your device’s performance. It increases the speed of your device and helps load data faster.

  1. There is no such thing as a HOME SCREEN or ALL APPS selection on the Sharp Aquos smart TV – I can go to the Menu to get to all the settings on the TV (There is no Home screen option or ALL Apps here) or the Smart Central and just go to Apps and select which apps I want added to my Favorites and that is it. Please update this with proper instructions thanks.
