how to delete apps on lg smart tv

To delete apps on an LG Smart TV, you usually go to the Home screen, enter app edit mode, then use the trash/X icon on the app and confirm deletion.

How deleting apps works

• Most recent LG Smart TVs use webOS , where apps sit in a horizontal bar on the Home screen.

• You cannot remove certain pre‑installed or system apps, but you can delete most downloaded apps to free space and tidy the menu.

Quick steps for newer LG TVs (webOS 22 / recent models)

1. Press the Home button on your LG remote to open the Home menu.

2. Move to the row of apps and go to the end, then select “Edit App List” (sometimes a pencil icon).

3. Highlight the app you want to remove; a check mark or trash bin appears over it.

4. Select the trash bin icon; confirm “Yes” when asked if you want to delete it.

Quick steps for older LG webOS TVs (webOS 5.0 and earlier)

1. Press Home on the remote to show the app bar.

2. Move to the app you want to delete and press and hold the OK/Select (wheel) button for about 3 seconds until an X appears above the icon.

3. Select the X icon; when the confirmation message pops up, choose Yes.

If long‑press doesn’t work

• On some models, highlight the app, then press the up arrow or look for “Edit Apps” / “Edit App List” at the end of the row instead of long‑pressing.

• Once in edit mode, use the trash can or Remove/Uninstall option shown above or below the app, then confirm.

Re‑adding a deleted app

• Open the LG Content Store from the Home screen.

• Search for the app, select it, and choose Install to bring it back to your LG Smart TV.
