This folder stores cached web content and cookie information. Clearing your cache can be difficult if you&#8217;re using a less-than-preferred browser. If you&#8217;re using a more versatile browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, you can clear your cache without much hassle. This process is quick and easy and can be completed in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Problems_with_YouTube\"><\/span>Problems with YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may experience problems with YouTube if you have a large cache of previously visited content. Your computer or mobile device can be slowed down by large caches. Cleaning out the cache can help you fix this problem. To clear your cache, sign in to your YouTube account. Note: If you have multiple accounts on your phone, you must sign in to each one separately. However, it is important to remember that this is a very simple process. You should use the steps below to clear your cache and restart your YouTube application.<\/p>\n<p>If the problem persists, you may want to try reinstalling your browser or Adobe Flash Player. Clearing your cache and cookies can help speed up your browser and YouTube. However, this process may not be the same for every browser. To find out whether your version is compatible with YouTube, check the help center. Once you&#8217;ve made the necessary changes, you should be able to view YouTube. Then, re-enable Javascript and try again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_fix_the_problem\"><\/span>Ways to fix the problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have trouble viewing YouTube videos, you may want to try clearing the cache on your browser. The problem may be caused by an Adobe Flash Player malfunction. Clearing your browser&#8217;s cache and cookies can fix the issue. If all else fails, you can always reinstall the software. If none of these solutions work for you, here are some ways to fix the problem. All of them will improve the performance of your browser.<\/p>\n<p>The first way to fix the problem is to delete your cache. The YouTube cache takes up a lot of space, and too many caches slow down your PC. Therefore, you should clear the cache frequently. If you want to view YouTube videos again, you must sign in with your YouTube account. To do this, you must remember your account password and sign in again. This way, you will be able to watch videos again without any problems.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steps_to_clear_the_cache\"><\/span>Steps to clear the cache<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using YouTube videos can consume considerable storage space. Your device stores temporary internet files, known as cache, in order to improve the speed of your web browsing experience. Unfortunately, these files can slow down your device, preventing you from fully enjoying your favorite videos. To solve the problem, you can clear the cache on YouTube by following the steps below. These steps are also useful for those who want to protect their personal information. Follow them to remove any unwanted data from your device.<\/p>\n<p>Cached data is a part of your browser&#8217;s memory that keeps previously visited sites in an easily-accessible state. Caching allows your browser to load content faster and avoid making repeated requests for the same information. It also preserves site data, which is of particular interest to those concerned about privacy and data security. To clear the cache on YouTube, simply click the &#8220;Clear Cache&#8221; button in the toolbar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resetting_network_settings\"><\/span>Resetting network settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes the app may be crashing because of an old firmware. If this is the case, the only solution is to update the firmware of your device. This can take anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on your connection speed. If that does not fix the problem, you can try resetting network settings. Be warned though: if you do this, you may lose any saved WIFI passwords and Bluetooth pairings.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the incorrect time or date settings may cause problems. When these are incorrect, the servers of Google have difficulty syncing and sending data. To solve this, go to the Settings menu and select General. Toggle on the options marked Automatically detect your time zone and use your location. Once you have selected time and date, select the Date &amp; time section from the left-side column. Then select the appropriate time zone from the list. Finally, check your network restrictions. These are common in libraries and schools. Parents might also want to restrict what their kids can do on the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Clear Cache in YouTube If you&#8217;re having trouble watching YouTube videos, you may want to clear your cache.
