Just like any other device, your Xbox Series X/S console can become sluggish and perform less. The reason for it is often due to a full cache.
Storing cache helps a device perform better when it has to retrieve the same information. It gets actions faster and done in less time. The irony is when it maximizes its storage capacity, giving you a slower performance instead of a quick one.
That is why clearing and deleting the cache information now and then can help run your device better. When you see that your Xbox Series X or Series S console is getting slower in retrieval and action responses, it is time to hit the clear cache button. In most cases, deleting the game cache data also helps in fixing bugs and issues on your console.
