Samsung TV: How to Uninstall (delete) App & Remove/Move App from Home Screen 

Omg this saved my life 😂 I thought I wouldn’t be able to delete anything- because there was Samsung tv plus switching what I’m watching every time. You’re a life saver honestly lmao

Finally figured this out. To remove app tags from the home screen on the latest Samsung TVs (2020 models and later), you MUST use the Samsung smart remote that came with the TV (with the round donut for the cursor keys and the round button in the middle of the donut). Then do the following steps: 1. Bring up the home screen and use the cursor keys to select the app icon you wish to remove. 2. Press and HOLD the round button inside the donut. After a couple seconds a pop-up menu will appear next to the app icon. 3. Use the DOWN cursor key to select the "remove" option from the pop-up menu, then press the round button again. 4. Repeat the process for other icons you wish to remove.

Can’t delete RU-vid though - that’s the frustrating part when you have kids

my TV is running a newer operating system so I can’t do this

Please people keep in mind! All Samsung Smart TVs are not created equal! The older models are unable to install specific apps, like Disney+ for example.

Thank you so much you have helped me many times😅😺

Thank You!!! It's so easy once you know how to do it! I hated scrolling through all the apps to get to my cable app. I was also able to move that app to the first position!

Hi this helped me out so much, thank you for your time and effort.

How do I delete pre-installed apps like RU-vid and Netflix? 🤷🏻‍♂️

On my TV with smart remote I had to hold down ok center button while on the source I didn't want on quick select and it revealed option to delete. Hope this helps anyone with my tv settings.

Don’t understand why anyone would thumbs down this video, some people just can’t be helped but you helped me so thank you ☺️

Perfect ❤️ it worked ✨

I still cannot delete the default apps completely

Hi...any idea on how to uninstall preinstalled app in Samsung TV same model

You CAN delete pre-installed apps on your Samsung "Smart" TV! This is how you do it step by step... 1: Go into your app menu and either enter 12345 on your remote or a keyboard. This will bring up a pop-up screen. You should see at the top of the box to enable "developer mode" and hit yes. After you hit yes click OK at the bottom. You should see a box come up and tell you to restart your TV. 2: You need to restart your TV after the first step. You have to hold the power button for 5 seconds and then your TV should restart and you should then see on your TV after it comes back on Samsung Smart TV from where it has completely restarted. 3: After your TV has restarted go back into your app menu and you should see at the top of the screen somewhere displayed "developer mode". If you see this you're ready for the next step. Go to the screen where the gear icon is for the settings menu and then go into your settings. 4: Ok, now is the part where you can actually start to delete the apps you do not want. Whichever app you don't want go down to where it says deep link test. Click ok when you go into deep link test. After that, you should see at the top of the app where the delete button was grayed out is now able to be used for deleting the app. 5: Repete the deep link test for each app you want to get rid of! -Now I have to tell you tho that your tv WILL download all those apps on its own AGAIN after you turn your TV off and back on the next time. -You will have to turn off the developer mode and restart your TV then turn back on developer mode in order to be able to delete the apps again! I suggest you download enough apps to take up the storage where Samsung can't install BLOAT on YOUR TV! Feel free to ask any questions you might have!!!

Thanks

I was able to delete apps. I was doing so in order to Update my HBO MAX which won't update due to the fact that storage is full. Eventhough I was able to delete several apps my storage was still 100% full (0% available) and I can't update the app. Also, there is NO option on my TV to clear the cache whether I go through APPS or SETTINGS. Is my only option to go out and buy an external storage device? I know I can uninstall HBO MAX in hopes of reinstalling but as I said, deleting apps didn't free up any space, so, I won't be able to install it.

They must have changed it because I don't have any way to removing apps from the home screen or to delete them.

Thank you so much

How about the delete tab is faded and you can't delete it?

Good tip

This does t work for 2020 Samsung’s

I do not have a home button on my samsung remote. Help?

Nice info for Samsung TV. 👍

How do you install it back

Guys once you get into apps, select settings and then you can delete the unwanted apps from your smart TV

This didn’t work for me. When I chose the “hamburger” (3 lines) and went to apps, I didn’t see the apps lined up with the ability to delete them. I see three rows of squares/rectangles. The top says “Apis”, the middle says “Downloaded App”, and the bottom row says “Group Content”. Any thoughts on what I do here to delete apps? Thanks!!!

Thanks a lot

if we press app it is delete option is not coming

How do I delete preinstalled apps btw mine is the 2018 model

Very clear information. Can I ask you, my Samsung is a 2016 model and I can’t seem to download the new apps like HBOMAX and. Disney Plus. Do I need to buy a new tv or is there a way around?

I have a problem: although my TV is stuck on Samsung TV Plus, the app doesn't appear in my app list. How can I remove it if I can't see the app? Even when I go to the app icon and scroll through all the apps, it's not there.

This was so easy yet I couldn’t do it 😂😂

I have it on my phone

Same here it does no work

Never worked

You completely skipped how many apps are greyed out and WONT uninstall. Latest update keeps auto-playing Samsung TV. Absolutely hate it. This forced programming may be the thing that makes me never buy Samsung TVs again.

I just want Samsung tv CHANNEL off my SAMSUNG TV HOMECREEN where it runs automatically if the power is on.

This works only with some apps. Other apps are native to Samsung like the Propaganda channel TV Plus. 24/7 lies and propaganda.

Nope dont work
