To clear your Apple Music cache on an iPhone, go to Settings > Music. Scroll down and find the 'Optimize Storage' option. If it's turned on, Apple Music automatically manages storage by deleting songs you haven't played in a while. However, to manually clear cached files, you'll need to delete and reinstall the Music app. Remember, this will remove all downloaded songs, so make sure to back up your favorites. There's no direct option to clear the cache without affecting downloaded tracks.
