Hey there @Velorace,

Thanks for posting about this here in the Community. No worries, we'll be happy to help!

Just to confirm, were you trying to follow the steps below when you saw this warning message?

1. Tap Home. 
2. Tap Settings. 
3. Scroll to Storage, and select Delete cache.
4. Tap Delete cache.

If so, doing this just removes any cached information of the app on your device.

This can be for example login details you've used on this device (so you'll need to log into your account again), offline content or preferred settings for the app (for example, if you've selected previously to not Allow Explicit Content, you'll need to switch again this on after deleting the app's cache) on this device.

However, this shouldn't remove any saved songs or your playlists from your Spotify account.

Hope this helps clarify things! If there's anything else we can help with, don't hesitate to give us a shout.

Have a lovely day 🙂

Thanks! I was so scared!!! ❤️
