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.
Note: We have tested both the methods and found them working properly. You can use either of the methods to clear cache on Kodi.
Clear Cache on Kodi on Any Device in 2020
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.
Since you can install these addons on Kodi on any device, you can use these to clear Kodi cache on Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and yes, even on Kodi for iPhone. So, without taking any more of your time, let’s see how you can clear Kodi cache to make it faster and more reliable.
Clear Cache on Kodi Using Merlin Wizard Add-on

2. Now open Kodi and switch to the “Add-ons” tab. Here, click on “Install from ZIP file”.
3. A file browser window will open. Here, navigate to the download folder and select the SuperRepo ZIP file. The repository will be instantly installed on Kodi.
4. Now move to the “Add-ons” tab again and open “Install from Repository”.
