So, the cache is a copy of the data you access on applications and browsers. On Spotify, whenever you listen to any music or podcasts, it creates a cache that takes up some space on your app and device\u2019s storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Spotify_create_cache_files\"><\/span><b>How does Spotify create cache files?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how Spotify creates cache files: once you start using the Spotify application or a web application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Play Music:\u00a0<\/strong>When you start playing music on Spotify, it does not send you the complete music but sends it to you in chunks, from the Spotify server.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spotify cache download: <\/strong>There is a Spotify cache folder on all devices, where all the cache from the Spotify app is stored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Playing the same music: <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you play the same music.
