So let’s get started on clearing the Netflix cache on your Hisense Smart TV with the following steps:
Step 1: Accessing the settings menu
To begin, you’ll need to access the settings menu on your Hisense Smart TV. The exact process may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your TV, but the general approach remains the same.
Start by locating the remote control that came with your Hisense Smart TV. Look for the “Settings” or “Gear” icon on the remote; it is usually represented by a small picture of a gear or wrench.
Once you have located the settings button, press it to open the settings menu on your Hisense Smart TV. This menu houses various options and configurations that allow you to customize your TV’s settings.
Use the arrow keys on your remote control to navigate through the settings menu. The arrow keys are typically located in a circular pattern around an “OK” or “Enter” button. Press the up, down, left, or right arrow keys to move between the menu options.
Continue scrolling through the settings menu until you find the option related to “Apps” or “Applications.” This option may vary depending on your TV model, but it is usually located under the “System” or “General” section.
Once you have located the “Apps” or “Applications” option, select it by pressing the “OK” or “Enter” button on your remote control. This will lead you to a list of all the applications installed on your Hisense Smart TV, including the Netflix app.

In the submenu, you may see options such as “Open,” “Remove,” or “Delete.” However, we are looking for the option to clear the cache, so scroll further down until you find an option similar to “Storage,” “Data Management,” or “App Info.”
Once you have located the appropriate option, select it by pressing the “OK” or “Enter” button on your remote control. This will open a new screen with detailed information about the Netflix app and its storage usage on your Hisense Smart TV.
In this screen, you should see an option to clear the cache of the Netflix app. It may be labeled as “Clear Cache,” “Delete Cache,” or something similar. Select this option to proceed with clearing the cache.

When the Netflix app opens, you may notice that it takes a bit longer to load than usual. This is normal, as the app is initializing with a fresh cache. Once the app has fully loaded, you can proceed to the next step.
Once you’re inside the Netflix app, take a moment to explore and ensure that everything is functioning as expected. Navigate through the different menus, search for a show or movie, and test the playback to ensure smooth streaming.
