Once you make the decision to clear the Netflix cache on your Android TV, all the search history or other temporarily stored information on the Netflix app will be deleted.
The benefits of clearing Netflix cache off your TV are endless, but most profoundly your TV performance will be boosted, storage space will be created and you will have cleared harmful malware.
Now that you understand the benefits of clearing cache, I advise that you concurrently clear Netflix cache on your Android TV.
Step 1: Switch on your Android TV
Plug your Android TV cable into power then press the power button on your remote to turn on the TV.
Step 2: Launch Android TV Settings
Press the home button on your Android TV supplied remote. Select the Settings app (gear icon) and press ‘OK‘.
Step 3: Select Apps
Under general settings select ‘Apps’ from the list of options.
Step 4: Select Netflix
Under the ‘Apps” settings, you will see all the apps that are installed on your Android TV, both downloaded and System apps. Navigate through the list of applications on your Android TV then select Netflix and press ‘OK‘ on your remote.
Step 5: Click on Cache
Under the Nextflix app, you can choose to open the app, force stop, uninstall updates, disable the application, storage used, clear data, clear cache, clear defaults, enable or disable notifications, and app permissions. Scroll down and select ‘Clear Cache‘. To confirm cache clearance, select ‘OK‘ and then press the ‘OK‘ button on your remote.
Note: Clearing data and clearing cache are two different things. Clearing data will clear the cache and reset the app back to default settings while clearing the cache will erase search history or temporarily stored data.
