Clear Android player cache without deleting its setup

Practical steps, clear explanations and a useful place to start.

Choose Clear Cache rather than Clear Storage or Clear Data for the initial temporary-storage test. The latter options can remove the player's saved account and return it to its first-run screen.

Why this happens

Cached temporary files and persistent app data serve different purposes. The available button labels vary across Android versions and manufacturers.

Work through the steps

  1. Save the private account recovery route.
  2. Open the exact player's app-information page.
  3. Use the temporary-cache option shown by the device.
  4. Reopen the player and test before taking any broader action.

What to avoid

Do not press every storage button in sequence. A private playlist link can contain a password and must not appear in a public support screenshot.

Know what changed

The account should remain configured after a cache-only operation. If it disappears, restore the setup and identify whether storage or data was cleared instead.
