Smart television are a great option for streaming content and Samsung offers some of the best TVs on the market. However, these devices often don’t offer a lot of storage capacity so many smart TV owners may find they can’t install the apps they want because the devices are filled with apps they don’t use. The simple solution is to uninstall the unwanted apps. Here’s what’s entailed with removing these undesirable apps from a Samsung smart TV.

Samsung offers a wide variety of smart TVs from HD TVs that are available for as little as a few hundred dollars to its top-of-the-line 85-inch 2020 Q900T 8K smart QLED TV, which retails for a cool $9,999.99. Like in many other areas of the consumer tech market, Samsung is one of the leading sellers in the smart TV arena.

Deleting apps from a smart TV is usually not a particularly difficult task and Samsung is no exception. If a Samsung smart TV has an unwanted app installed, it can be easily removed. First, the user must press the Home button on the remote to bring up the TV’s Home screen menu. The person will then select “Apps” from that screen and launch a new menu. In the apps menu, the smart TV owner will then choose the settings icon. After that, the user can uninstall any of the offending apps by simply navigating to one and then choosing “Delete.” The user then has to select “Delete” a second time to confirm the action.

Hiding Apps On A Samsung TV

Now, unfortunately not every app can be deleted in this way. In fact, certain ones, which Samsung calls, “recommended apps,” can’t be removed at all. However, there is a way to at least hide them from view so users aren’t bombarded by these unwanted apps every time they launch the Home screen menu on a Samsung TV.

To hide a recommended app, the user once again hits the Home button on the remote to launch the Home screen menu and then navigates to the app that needs to be hidden. This time, the user presses the down arrow to select “Remove.” Like with “Delete,” “Remove” has to be selected twice to confirm the app’s removal. While it’s technically still installed, the app will no longer clutter up the Home screen. Now, if the user doesn’t mind the app being on the Home screen, but just doesn’t like where it is appearing, the user can choose “Move” from the apps menu instead. Once selected, the user can then move the app to somewhere else on the Samsung smart TV’s Home screen.
