Cache clearing usually targets temporary data, while clearing storage can remove saved accounts, settings and favourites. Exact behaviour depends on the app and operating system. Read the confirmation screen before using either operation as a troubleshooting step.
Choose the narrower action
A temporary artwork or guide issue may not require deleting the whole profile. Use the app's supported refresh first. If playback works except for one source, broad storage removal may simply add account setup work.
Preserve what you need
Before a destructive local reset, keep legitimate account details securely available and check whether favourites can be exported safely. Do not store private playlists in a public backup folder. A screenshot of credentials is also sensitive.
Retest one change
After the chosen action, reopen the app and reproduce the original issue. Avoid immediately changing the network and player engine too. A useful comparison shows whether that specific reset improved anything.
