3. Inside the settings menu, you will find various options. Look for the Apps option and select it using the OK button on your remote.

4. After selecting the Apps option, you will see a list of installed apps on your Vizio SmartCast TV. This list may include both pre-installed apps and apps that you have downloaded and installed yourself.

5. Navigate to the System Apps section by using the arrow keys on your remote and highlighting it. Press the OK button to enter the System Apps section.

6. In the System Apps section, you will find a list of system apps that are installed on your Vizio SmartCast TV. These are the built-in apps that come with your TV. Choose the app for which you want to clear the cache.

7. Once you have highlighted the app, press the OK button on your remote to open the app settings.

It’s worth noting that clearing the cache can help resolve performance issues or glitches that may occur in apps on your Vizio SmartCast TV. However, it’s important to keep in mind that clearing the cache will also remove any temporary files or data that the app may have stored. This means that you may need to re-login to certain apps or reconfigure some settings after clearing the cache.

By following these steps, you can easily clear the cache for individual apps on your Vizio SmartCast TV and ensure smooth operation of your favorite apps.
