If you’ve been having issues with your Xbox Series X lately, such as error messages popping up, or if you’ve noticed that things have been getting a bit sluggish on your console, it might be time to clear the cache. Clearing the cache can resolve these issues and improve the performance of your console.
Here’s how to clear the cache on your Xbox Series X:
1. Press the Xbox button on your controller.
2. Go across your profile icon and select “Settings.”
3. Select “General” on the left-hand side.
4. Go across to “Sleep mode and start up.”
5. Go down to “Full shutdown” and select it.
6. Press “Shutdown” to completely shut down your Xbox.
Once your Xbox Series X has fully shut down, look at the top of the console and ensure the fan is no longer spinning. If the fan is no longer spinning, go to the back of your console and unplug the power cable. Leave it unplugged for at least 30 seconds.
