Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon.
Is there a way to purge YouTube's iOS app's cache?
1. Joerg & nospam told you that you don't want to do what you want to do.
2. And yet, you have every right to want to do what you want to do.
3. Joerg & nospam were not even in the least purposefully helpful to you
(which is why I assess both of them as wholly unprepossessing people)
Moving forward, I must first caveat that I would neve use iOS YouTube since
I have stunningly shockingly _perfect_ replacements for YouTube on Android.
Nothing like it exists on iOS no matter how many iOS apps nospam fabricates.
On iOS, you're _always_ going to be crippled compared to Android, but an iOS YouTube-specific search does indicate it's a commonly asked question of iOS.

The 1st hit explains why nospam said you don't want to do what you want".

"Normally you can find such option within the app itself under
Settings. But YouTube is not one of them."
But then that article shows how you can do it by onerous means, e.g.,
deleting and re-installing the YouTube app.
You know it's an extremely _common_ problem on iOS when many hits are to
apps that do what you want to do but that iOS is otherwise unable to do it.

Third hit is an app which I can't vouch for, but this is what it says:

"No doubt cleaning cache is significant to maintain your iPhone or iPad,
but manually clearing the cache of youtube or other apps or remembering
how to clear cache can on iOS 13 be a hectic task for some.
Moreover, people may want to clear iPhone app data without deleting
the app; there is an easy solution. The answer is to use a cleaner app
for iPhone or iPad.
Another useful way to clear the cache on the iPad or iPhone is by
restarting your device. Doing so removes any temporary files or cache
and speeds up your device to some extent."
There were plenty of other hits, but this one implies it _can_ be done.

"Step 1: Launch the setting feature/app on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 2: Select General.
Step 3: Select iPhone Storage.
Step 4: Please scroll down and tap on YouTube.
Step 5: Select the Offload App option, and the app's data will be cleared.
You can also remove all data, caches & cookies by selecting Delete App."
Ant, please let us know if you test any of these solutions, how they work. Maybe it's something for Steve to add to his document on smartphones also.
