'On my Mac, I have noticed that Spotify uses quite a large cache, say, 4GB in total. That's really puzzling as I only saved dozens of tracks from Spotify. Did I miss anything? Or how to clear up those Spotify caches once and for all?' - Spotify user

If you use Spotify app quite often, you might have noticed that the storage space of your computer or the mobile device is dropping rapidly.

Therefore, the more songs you streamed from Spotify, the less space you'll get on your device.
