Yes, you'll see that a lot, & yes you're correct, within Kodi clear data in settings>tv>general only gives you the option to clear data which will delete the entire channel & guide database (note that this will also clear any customised channel changes such as groups/hide channels etc) but for troubleshooting it's generally a good idea to use this option. In system>tv>guide, clearing data will delete the cached guide data. Those two options apply when you're using the PVR Client/Live TV feature.

When people refer to clearing the cache for the IPTV Stalker Video Addon they mean launching the Video Addon & highlighting their server (NFPS, Rocket or IPTV66), bringing up the context menu with their remote/mouse & choosing clear cache.

You're using an android box, so you can easily clear your Kodi cache by exiting Kodi altogether & going to your android box settings>other>more settings>apps>Kodi>clear cache (do NOT clear data). When you relaunch Kodi you'll get a 'preparing for first run message' but your addons & system settings will have been preserved (provided you didn't choose clear data) & just your cached data will have been deleted. You can also use the Maintenance Tool that comes with the Fusion Installer to clear cache within Kodi, but some users don't like using third party apps like that at all for various reasons.

Today’s world every people are using computers and mobile phones to access the internet for surfing, downloading, chatting, social media, etc. So, some files are generated in memory of computers or mobile phones which are called cache and cookies. Web-pages can only communicate and interpret with browsers. There are different types of browser likes clear cache (http://hackforsecurity.com/2017/01/clear-cache.html) Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. Each and every browser has own privacy policy and history. It is more crucial to think on browser’s cache and cookies when we talk about browser’s privacy and history.
The cache file is a temporary and small file which consists of a copy of visited HTML webpage’s code and images when we surf on the internet. So, next time when you again visit the same website then your browser fetches some data from previously stored Cache file and render it to users rather than its website original location. Cache files are used to speed up web page process by fetching same data rather than re-downloading again. So, it saves users time and quicker system performance while surfing.
