Hi @geffen, thanks for writing!

As Spotify provides the desktop app on Windows from its official site as well as Windows store, the ways to delete Spotify cache with those two versions are varied on Windows.

1) Remove cache from Spotify official version

The process to empty cache files from Spotify official app on Windows is similar to Mac. For the Spotify cache, go to C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\Spotify\ and find the Storage folder, delete it. Or head to C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users\username-user\ and find the local-files.bnk, delete it.

2) Remove cache from Spotify Windows Store version

1. Navigate to your AppData folder by typing "appdata" into search bar of your computer.
2. Head to Packages - SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_zpdnekdrzrea0 - LocalCache - Spotify - Data. 
3. Close Spotify if it's running. Then delete all the folders within Data folder.

Let me know if it works!

For those who didn't solve the problem by clearing the cache: In my case it happened because i synced Spotify with Discord, whenever i had discord opened, shopify stopped playing after about 1/3 of the song.
