Clearing a Samsung TV’s cache may ease sluggish menus and buffering

The article explains that clearing temporary cache files may help resolve sluggish menus, buffering, freezing or crashes on a Samsung TV. The process can also free some limited storage, while leaving downloaded apps, settings, Wi-Fi details and software updates intact.

For Samsung TVs made from 2020 onwards, the instructions given for clearing the system cache are Settings > Support > Device Care > Start Device Care. The article says cache builds up again through app use, so clearing it every few months may help; apps may take a few extra seconds to load the first time afterwards. It distinguishes clearing cache from clearing app data, which can remove saved preferences.
