How to Remove Kodi Addons Cache Manually?

To do this, simply go to the specific addon folder that you wish to clean, the path to that folder is dependent on the platform you’re on. Please note that in older versions of the software, the Kodi directions were named XBMC.

In Windows the folder should be C:\Users\”you”\AppData\Roaming\Kodi. Another way to find it is to enter “%APPDATA%\kodi\userdata” via the search box.

Regular Steps to Remove Kodi on Your PC

Perform the following steps (Apply to both Windows 8 and Windows 10) in Administrative Rights:

Step 1: Make sure Kodi is not running.
