Cache are temporary files created and stored on your console while playing games or opening apps. These files are there to enhance user experience and reduce loading times. These files can become corrupted which leads to minor issues with your console such as freezing, slow loading times, etc. 

Clearing the cache will delete the temporary files to boost your console’s performance and fix any glitches that you encountered on your system. It’s a quick process that should help keep your PS5 in optimum condition.
