And the second one is to store temporary data or cache.
More specifically, the Spotify cache is your listening history.
It allows you to play tracks without pre-buffering.
In some cases, a large Spotify cache causes the app to be unstable on your smartphone or PC.
Thats why it’s crucial that you clear your Spotify cache.

But now, the developers have also added a unique option for the PC version of the app.
This is really nice.
