If you’re looking to tidy up your Roku device by removing unnecessary apps, you’re in the right place. Deleting an app on Roku is a straightforward process that won’t take up much of your time. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps required to delete an app on your Roku player or Roku TV.
Step 1: Navigate to the Home Screen
The first step in deleting an app on Roku is to navigate to the home screen of your device. You can easily do this by pressing the Home button on your Roku remote. This will take you to the main menu where all your installed apps are displayed.
Step 2: Select the App You Want to Delete
Once you’re on the home screen, use the arrow buttons on your remote to highlight the app you wish to remove. Make sure the app is selected so that you can proceed with the deletion process.
Step 3: Open the Options Menu
After selecting the app, press the asterisk (*) button on your remote to open the options menu. This menu will provide you with various actions you can take regarding the selected app, including the option to delete it.
Step 4: Choose the ‘Remove’ Option
Within the options menu, you will see the ‘Remove’ option. Highlight this option using the arrow buttons on your remote and press the OK button to confirm your selection. This will initiate the deletion process for the app.
Step 5: Confirm Deletion
After selecting the ‘Remove’ option, Roku will ask you to confirm your decision to delete the app. Simply follow the on-screen instructions and choose ‘Remove’ again to confirm that you want to delete the app from your device.
Step 6: App Successfully Deleted
Once you’ve confirmed the deletion, Roku will remove the app from your device. You’ll see a notification confirming that the app has been successfully deleted. The app will no longer be visible on your home screen or in your list of installed apps.
Additional Tips for App Deletion
It’s important to note that deleting an app on Roku does not cancel any subscriptions associated with that app. If you had an active subscription, make sure to cancel it separately to avoid any recurring charges.
Furthermore, if you accidentally delete an app or change your mind, you can always re-download the app from the Roku Channel Store. Simply search for the app and select ‘Add Channel’ to reinstall it on your device.
By following these simple steps, you can easily manage the apps on your Roku device and keep your home screen organized. Deleting unwanted apps can free up space and make it easier to navigate your favorite channels. Remember to regularly review your installed apps and remove any that you no longer use to optimize your Roku experience.
