    I believe this is the first video in a long time that your title /context is 100% correct (no disrespect). On firesticks in particular, clearing the cache does not speed up the stick. Yes, you will free ram, (as you'll see in the background app) but it will be used right back up when launching that app again or any other. It is better to let them "timeout" in the background, like other OS, s , this little stick is optimized well for what it does and the allocation of its resources, with the exception of a few tools by a few devs that do a great job with animation speeds and debloating, however it really only applies on the older OS's, not the newer. I created some debugging software and a lightweight apk like what maybe MSI afterburner would do as a basic example, and this is very accurate. Facts. I like this alot doc, keep with this format. Great work!

    Background Apps and Processes is a must have for all firestick/TV users. Force stop is a function that really helps on any apps you may have problems with. Background Apps and Processes helps to zero in on those apps still running in the background so you don't have to go into every app on you device to force stop.

    What does clearing cache do on Fire TV?
    If you're experiencing issues with a Fire TV app such as crashing, not working, content not loading, lag, or slow speeds, clear the cache. When you download an app, it temporarily stores data on your device- cache. Issues occur when a cache becomes too big; clearing it improves performance.

    I've been using Amazon Fire sticks for the last five or six years now to run some apps that allow me to watch TV shows and movies. You have to clear out the cash and you have to go into the apps and clear out the cash and you have to go into the Amazon Fire stick to clear out the cache. There's such a limited amount of memory and Amazon forces so much bloatware onto their Fire sticks that if you don't clear out the cache all the memory is eaten up and then you can't run the apps that you've downloaded through the developer options. Maybe if you're using the fire stick only to view what they put on there you don't have to delete the cash but if you're going through a developer option type of situation where you put an app on there that is not an Amazon sanctioned app then yes you need to delete the cash and you need to constantly turn off all of the running Amazon bloatware crap with some kind of bloat tool.
