Samsung Smart TV is the leading Television brand and the best choice for streaming. It supports over 300 popular apps, and you can install it from the app store called Samsung Smart Hub. However, like other streaming devices, Samsung TV has limited storage space. When the storage space exceeds, you will not be able to install any new app further, and it even affects the performance. So, it is recommended to remove or delete unwanted or unused Apps on Samsung Smart TV to clear or free up the memory space.
Note: You cannot delete the pre-installed apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.
