Reset Music Store cache | Music saves the store pages you visit on your computer in a temporary location called the cache. If you return later, Music can retrieve the page from the cache faster than getting it from the internet. If the content on a page seems outdated, you can reset the cache to retrieve the latest version. If you think a page isn’t opening properly, resetting the cache may help. | ||||||||||
