How to delete apps from your Samsung Smart TV

Free up space on your Smart TV’s internal memory by deleting unused apps and games.

App store on a Samsung Smart TV

The storage capacity of Samsung Smart TVs is still small, so it is recommended to remove unused applications. However, only apps downloaded from the TV app store can be uninstalled. Those that come pre-installed, such as Netflix or YouTube, can only be reinstalled.

Another solution to the problem of the low storage capacity of these devices is to make use of screen mirroring. In this way you can have applications on the television without having to install them. Even from stores like Google Play or App Store.

Press the Smart Hub button on the TV remote (the colored ones) and go to Featured > Apps.

How to use apps on your TV without having to download them

If, after removing some apps, you are still short of space to download a particular app, your best option is to use the screen mirroring feature. Thanks to this, you launch the application on your smartphone and view it on your TV at the same time, without having to download it to the TV.

The use of screen mirroring depends on the phone’s operating system and brand. If you have an Android smartphone, see the step-by-step instructions here. If instead, you have an iPhone, click here.
