  1. Using Finder, under the Go menu at the top of the screen, select the Go to Folder option (you can also press Command+Shift+G to access). Inside the “Go to the folder” field that pops up, type or paste ~/Library/Caches/com.spotify.client/ and then click “Go” or press Enter.

  2. Delete everything inside the com.spotify.client folder. You can select all of the items by pressing Command+A.

  3. Using the Go to Finder option from Step 1, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/.

  4. Inside the Spotify folder, look for a file called prefs. Open this file in Notepad and add storage.size=1024 on a new line at the end of the file. Save this file. This should limit the size of Spotify’s cache to 1024MB or 1GB; you can change the 1024 value if you would like the cache to be smaller or larger.

  5. Delete the PersistentCache folder inside the Spotify folder.
