Clear Youtube DL Cache to fix 403 Forbidden error, youtube-dl 403 forbidden

If you are getting the error:

File "C:\Python\Python34\lib\urllib\request.py", line 588, in http_error_default
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

It could be cache that is causing this issue. 

To clear the cache on windows you need to run:

./youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir

Then try running the download again, it should work now. 

Youtube-dl into MP3 example

.\youtube-dl.exe -v --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=****VideoID***'
