If you’re an Apple TV user and find yourself with apps you no longer need or use, you might be wondering how to delete them. Deleting apps on Apple TV is a straightforward process that can help you keep your home screen organized and free up storage space. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to delete apps from your Apple TV.
Accessing the App Store
First, you need to access the App Store on your Apple TV. You can do this by pressing the ‘App Store’ button on your Siri Remote or by navigating to the ‘App Store’ icon on your home screen.
Locating the App You Want to Delete
Once you’re in the App Store, you’ll see a list of all the apps installed on your device. Scroll through the list to find the app you want to delete. You can also use the search function to quickly locate the app if you know its name.
Deleting the App
To delete an app, follow these steps:
1. Select the app you want to delete by pressing the ‘Select’ button on your Siri Remote.
2. Once the app is highlighted, press the ‘Menu’ button on your Siri Remote.
3. A menu will appear with options like ‘Delete App,’ ‘Remove from Home Screen,’ and ‘Get App.’ Select ‘Delete App.’
4. A confirmation message will appear asking if you’re sure you want to delete the app. Press ‘Delete’ to confirm.
Verifying the App Has Been Deleted
After confirming the deletion, the app should disappear from your home screen. To ensure it has been removed, navigate to the ‘App Store’ again and look for the app in the list of installed apps. If it’s no longer there, you’ve successfully deleted the app from your Apple TV.
