Once you have selected this option, your TV will be restarted and any temporary data will be deleted.
Step 6: Power Cycle the TV
If you are still having issues with your Vizio Smart TV, you can try power cycling the TV. To do this, hold down the power button on the side of the TV for 3-5 seconds and then reconnect the power cord and turn it back on.

This will help in clearing all the cached data related to the selected app.

In order to clear the cache and data from your Vizio Smart TV, you’ll need to go to the Browser Settings in the Smart TV menu. This can be found in the Settings option, which can be accessed by pressing the menu button on your Vizio remote. Once you’ve opened the Settings menu, scroll down to the bottom section and select Delete. This will enable you to clear cached files and data from your Smart TV, improving streaming performance.

Once you have selected Reset & Admin, there are two ways to clear the cache on your Vizio Smart TV. You can either perform a soft reset by unplugging the TV, or you can use the Clear Cache option. To do this, press the “Input” button for 10 seconds. This will bring up a dialogue box that will allow you to select either Clear Memory or Reset to Default. If you opt for the Reset to Default option, it will restore all the settings to their original factory settings.
