Clearing Memory to Help Smart TVs and TV Boxes Run Faster

In theory, Smart TVs or Smart TV Boxes—devices running a TV operating system to stream various types of content—are essentially computers with their own operating systems. They operate on the principle of caching data, so the next time you access a program, the device can load it more quickly.

However, this same mechanism can cause your TV to “slow down over time” as the cached data grows larger. It requires more resources to process, and you may even encounter “freezing”. This article will show you how to “clear your device’s cache” to “free up memory”, returning your TV to a nearly original state, ensuring faster, more stable performance.

For Other TVs Running Android TV

Android TV is a popular operating system found in most TV models (similar to smartphones). Because it’s widely used, finding instructions is easier.

Below is a quick guide to clearing cache on Android TVs (Sony, TCL, etc.) and most other smart TVs on the market today:

1. Open Settings
   • From the main TV interface, select Settings
   • Go to Apps
2. View All Apps
   • Select See All Apps (or a similar option)
3. Select the App
   • In the list of apps, look for those that typically store a large amount of cache (e.g., YouTube is known to store a lot of cached data)
4. Clear the Cache
   • Finally, choose Clear Cache to remove stored data
   • Repeat with other apps as needed

Most TVs will have a few main apps that cache a lot of data (like YouTube, TikTok, browsers, etc.). Clearing the cache on these apps can significantly improve performance.

Small Variations Across Devices

Different Smart TV platforms—whether Android TV, Google TV, or brand-specific operating systems—may vary slightly in their settings menus. However, the core principle of clearing cache remains the same across phones, Android TV boxes, and other devices.
