How to free up the space that spotify takes up more

We have commented in previous articles on ways to recover some space on your computers. Although it is increasingly difficult to find a full hard disk, it never hurts to free up some space that is being used up uselessly. Because it is something really annoying for many users.

We must take into account the case of applications. There are applications that end up taking up a lot of space. That is something that can be very annoying for users. One such application is Spotify. The music streaming service par excellence is known to many users. He is also an old acquaintance of experts. Spotify is famous for ending up consuming a lot of space, as there have been a couple of problems with the famous application.

Previous space issues on Spotify

Previously there has been a problem related to Spotify. A bug was detected that caused several gigabytes of data to be written every day. Due to a process running in the background. Without doing anything, the user found a large part of the space occupied. Without any explanation. Luckily, the bug that has affected quite a few users has already been corrected, and there has never been a case with the same problem. Although it is not the first time that there is such a problem.

Another problem related to Spotify is that every time you want to play a song, it consumes space. If we want to play a song, the application has to download the song first and then play it. Spotify's problem is that it does that with all songs, even with a song that we listen to 10 times. It does not matter that it is the same theme, the application re- downloads it every time you listen to it.

Luckily, there is a way to get that space back. That is what we explain below.

How to free up space on Spotify?

There is a way to do it, very simple and that will allow you to recover the space that these files are occupying in a useless way on our hard disk. How can we do it? We can achieve this by deleting the files found in the Spotify cache folder. In this way we free up space. Below we will tell you the steps necessary to carry out the entire process.

First, we must locate the application's Caché folder on our system. Generally the location is the same, although the way to get there depends on the operating system you use. In the case that you use Windows, you can generally locate it here:

C: \ Users \\ AppData \ Local \ Spotify \ Storage

That is the fastest way to find it. It may be the case that you have changed the default location. In order to know with complete security where you are, just follow these steps:

• Open Spotify Go to Edit and then Preferences Select to show advanced settings Cached you will find the location and you have the option to change it if you wish

Once you have located the place where all those files are located, just delete them. With this simple step of clearing the Spotify cache from time to time, you can gain some extra space on your hard drive. Which never hurts. And as you can see, the process itself does not have too many complications and is very quick to carry out. Of course, it is not something that must be done too often, since the cache is also important for the program, but it never hurts to free up space from time to time. What do you think of this way of freeing up space? Did you know that Spotify occupies this space? Are you going to use it?
