Kodi is an excellent application to stream and organize all our media content in one place. However, there are times when we face issues with constant buffering, low-quality streaming, and usual hang-ups. While you may have a pretty fast internet connection, sometimes the cache files create problems for Kodi to function properly. In such cases, clearing the cache keeps Kodi free from any obstruction. Also, clearing the cache regularly makes Kodi quite fast and responsive. So in this article, I am going to share two easy ways you can clear cache on Kodi on device.
Kodi doesn’t have a native option to clear the cache or remove any junk files. However, there are add-ons which do the job quite well. I have used two popular repositories, SuperRepo and TVAddons to install the necessary add-ons. You can clear the cache on Kodi using Merlin Wizard or Indigo add-on. Both the add-ons are quite good and you can use any one of them.
To download Merlin Wizard add-on, we need specific Kodi repository. So get the SuperRepo repo from here.
Now open Kodi and switch to the “Add-ons” tab. Here, click on “Install from ZIP file”.
On the next screen, click on “SuperRepo Repositiries [Krpton][v7]”.
Now, scroll down and find “Merlin Wizard”.
Next, you can choose to “Delete Packages” and “Delete Thumbnails” as well. Do note that, deleting thumbnail will force-close Kodi.
To have Indigo add-on, we need TVAddons repository first. Download the repo from here.
Here, open “TVAddons” repository.
Here, open “Maintenance Tools” on the very first page.
