How do I delete or remove unwanted apps

The Apple TV 4K comes with a number of prepackaged apps. In order to clean up the UI, I want to get rid of a number of them. How do I delete or remove unwanted apps?

Follow the steps in the user guide entry linked below under "Delete Apps".

Do note, most Apple apps cannot be deleted and will not offer the Delete option when you follow the steps above, but they can be moved into a folder instead to get them out of the way.

Your welcome.

Do note however, most of the pre-installed apps take up very little space; less than 100MB each. On a device with 32GB, that's about 0.3% of the space. Not really an issue when 3rd party apps and games can take up hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of space.
