I need to know how to empty the cache on the Xbox 360. I've been holding the left and right bumpers but nothing happens. I think I'm doing it wrong. Can someone give me a step-by-step of how to do it? Thanks.

To clear the HDD cache, go to the Memory area and press x, x, lb, rb, x, x. Press Yes to perform maintenance.

Honestly, it probably won't have any kind of effect. TC, what's the reason for needing to clear the cache?

make machine run better by clearing all the updates that sit on the 3rd partition on the hard drive making the xbox not have to look as far for the updates so games load quicker

So it doesn't get rid of trailers, songs, etc (what do you mean by 3rd partition?)

How do you get your DLC you've purchased back (there is a way isn't there?)

no just game updates 3rd paetition is the hard drive its split into 3 parts part 1 all your things games saves downloads songs second is the operating system and console updates 3rd is game updates and game cache
