Hide Apps Instead of Removing
In lieu of deleting applications from your TV’s home screen, you can conceal them from view, a more viable option in certain scenarios. This technique ensures seamless content consumption without interruptions caused by redundant or seldom-used apps cluttering your display.
Disable Apps for Permanent Removal
If temporary removal of applications does not suffice, consider disabling them to completely eliminate their presence from your Samsung TV’s interface. Disabling apps involves rendering them inactive, rendering them inaccessible for use. This irreversible action effectively conceals disabled applications from view, ensuring a clutter-free and streamlined user experience.
Reset the Smart Hub to Restore Defaults
If the preceding methods fail to purge unwanted applications, resorting to a Smart Hub reset might prove effective. Restoring the Smart Hub’s factory settings will eradicate all installed apps, user preferences, and customized configurations.
