FAQ – Removing Apps from Samsung TV

I have problems with an application. Do I need to delete it?

If an app won’t start or work, you can try other steps first before deleting it completely. Try restarting your TV. You can turn it off, wait five seconds, and turn it back on, or unplug it, wait, and plug it back in. Either way, rebooting the system is a simple step that often works.

If restarting the TV doesn’t solve the problem, make sure your Samsung Smart TV has the latest software.

1. Access “Settings,” select “Support,” then choose “Software updates.”

2. If an update is available, select “Update now.” When the process is complete, test your app again.

If it still doesn’t work, uninstall the app and then reinstall it.

I don’t see the ‘Deep Link Test’ option. What else can I do?

One of the biggest complaints about Samsung Smart TVs is bloatware. Pre-installed apps consume a lot of space, hindering your ability to download more content that fits your needs. Some TV models have the “Deep Link Test” option greyed out, while others do not.

Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution for those who do not have the “Deep Link Test” option. If you’ve run out of space on your TV and can’t remove the pre-installed bloatware, your only option is to use another device with more memory. Using Firestick, Roku, or Chromecast with Google TV is a low-cost option, but it’s not the perfect solution.
