When and How to Clear Lookr Cache (Without Losing Data)
Clearing cache is the single safest troubleshooting step for Lookr: it deletes temporary files and keeps everything that matters. Half the fixes on this site start with it, so here is exactly what it does and when to use it.
Key takeaways: Clear cache fixes stale search results, glitchy thumbnails, and sluggish browsing. It never touches your library, settings, or downloads.
What cache clearing deletes and keeps
Deletes: temporary search results, thumbnails, and preview files. Keeps: your library, downloaded videos, settings, and login free state. That is why it is always the first step before anything destructive.
How to do it
Settings, Apps, Lookr, Storage, Clear cache. Thirty seconds, no restart needed. Reopen the app and retry whatever was misbehaving.
When to clear cache
Clear it when search returns stale or blank results, when thumbnails will not load, when the app feels sluggish, or after an update if things look off. Do not clear it on a schedule; there is no benefit to wiping a healthy cache.
Cache vs data: do not confuse them
Clear data resets the entire app, settings, indexes, everything except shared storage files. Only use it when a guide specifically says so, and back up first. If cache clearing did not help, the next steps are in our crash fixes.
