What is how to clear spotify cache?

Here's how to clear the Spotify cache on different devices:

Desktop App (Windows/Mac):

  1. Close Spotify completely. Make sure it's not running in the system tray (near the clock).
  2. Open your file explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
  3. Navigate to the Spotify cache folder. The location varies by operating system:
    • Windows: %appdata%\Spotify\Storage
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/Storage (You might need to show hidden folders to see the Library folder. Press Command + Shift + . to toggle hidden folders.)
  4. Delete all the files and folders within the Storage folder.
  5. Restart Spotify. This will force it to rebuild its cache.

Note: This process will delete all offline downloads, so you will need to download your playlists again.

Mobile App (Android/iOS):

  1. Open the Spotify app.
  2. Tap your profile picture (usually in the top-left corner).
  3. Scroll down and tap "Settings".
  4. Scroll down and find "Storage".
  5. Tap "Clear Cache". On Android, it might be under "Data Saver" then find "Clear Cache".

Note: Clearing the cache on mobile shouldn't delete your downloaded music. However, if you're still experiencing issues, you might need to redownload them.
