Introduction

The Amazon Firestick is a popular streaming device that allows you to access a wide range of apps and services. Over time, you may find that you have installed too many apps, and your Firestick is running out of storage space or becoming slow. Uninstalling apps you no longer use is a simple yet effective way to optimize your device's performance.

In the following sections, we will walk you through the process of uninstalling apps from both the home screen and the settings menu. We will also provide guidance on how to uninstall sideloaded apps, which are apps installed using third-party sources.
