Manage Apple TV storage

Your Apple TV streams video and music, but it stores apps locally. The more apps you download to Apple TV, the more storage is used up. At some point you may get a warning that you’re running out of disk space. If so, you can remove apps to free up space.

Remove unused apps on the Home Screen

You can set Apple TV to remove unused apps to save space. Removing apps preserves your documents and data in case you download an app again later.

  1. Open Settings Settings on Apple TV.

  2. Go to Apps and turn on Offload Unused Apps.

Reinstall unused apps on the Home Screen

If you’ve set Apple TV to offload unused apps, they appear on the Home Screen with a download icon Download icon.

Reinstalling the app will restore your data if the app is still available in the App Store.

  • Navigate to an unused app on the Home Screen, then select it to download the app again.

Manually delete apps to recover space

  1. Open Settings Settings on Apple TV.

  2. Go to General > Manage Storage.

  3. Navigate to the trash icon for any item in the list and press the clickpad center (second-generation Siri Remote) or the touch surface (first-generation Siri Remote).

    The app and all of its data are removed from the device.

    You can also delete apps directly on the Home Screen. See Customize the Apple TV Home Screen.

    If you delete an app, you can download it again from the App Store without repurchasing it. For more about the App Store, see Find apps in the Apple TV App Store.

Check the Apple TV storage levels

  1. Open Settings Settings on Apple TV.

  2. Go to General > Manage Storage.

    A list of the apps on your Apple TV shows how much space each item is using.
