"I literally just spent most of today messing with my 2018 Samsung TV trying to get rid of the bloatware they pre-installed removed."
Can you elaborate?
Can you elaborate?
TV comes with 5Gb hard drive
TV comes with 4.75 Gb of OS + bloatware apps.
Watch youtube and youtube caches .25GB for 2 hour long information video.
TV complains of no storage.
Rinse. Repeat
1. Reset my TV to factory settings.
2. Go into the "apps" item while it desperately tries to update itself
3. Go into "Developer Mode" by pressing 12345 on the remote.
4. Restart the TV by holding down power button for 2 seconds.
5. Open "Apps" again
6. Open the cog.
7. Under the app you want to remove, press "Deep Link Testing" and then hit cancel.
8. If the "Apps" app hasn't been updated yet, your delete button should magically reactivate.
I was able to delete the product manual which is like 90mb, all others were reloaded after another restart though but it gave me enough wiggle room to update and install other apps.
