Clearing the cache files is one effective way to improve the Firestick’s performance. Generally, Firestick automatically deletes the unwanted junk files of applications that you haven’t used for the past 30 days. However, you can clear the cache of a particular app at any time by navigating to the device settings.
On the other hand, Firestick doesn’t provide support to clear the cache files for all the apps at once. So you have to clear them manually for each application.
