Amazon has just dropped a major Firestick and Fire TV update with a one-click option to clear all app caches. On my Firestick, it even shows I can instantly free up 693.32 MB of storage. Sounds great… but is it actually worth using?
In this video, I’ll explain:
✅ How to check if your device has the latest Fire OS update
🔄 Where to find the new “Clear All Caches” option
📦 Why some people love it (more storage)
⚠️ Why others say it can slow your apps down
🔍 My recommended best practices for when you should and shouldn’t clear cache
I’ll also share a quick tip on checking your privacy settings after updates, and explain why your cache never truly hits 0 KB (hello 16.38 KB residual cache 👀).
👉 What about you — will you use this new feature regularly, or leave it alone unless an app is giving you trouble? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
