Spicetify extension to automatically clear Spotify cache. Executes on startup.
Only works on Spotify 1.1.92
, Spicetify 2.12.0
and above.
Copy cacheCleaner.js
into your Spicetify extensions directory:
Platform | Path |
---|---|
Linux | ~/.config/spicetify/Extensions or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/spicetify/Extensions/ |
MacOS | ~/.config/spicetify/Extensions or $SPICETIFY_CONFIG/Extensions |
Windows | %appdata%/spicetify/Extensions/ |
After putting the extension file into the correct folder, run the following command to install the extension:
spicetify config extensions cacheCleaner.js
spicetify apply
Note: Using the config
command to add the extension will always append the file name to the existing extensions list. It does not replace the whole key's value.
Or you can manually edit your config-xpui.ini
file. Add your desired extension filenames in the extensions key, separated them by the | character.
Example:
[AdditionalOptions]
...
extensions = autoSkipExplicit.js|shuffle+.js|trashbin.js|cacheCleaner.js
Then run:
spicetify apply
