    Thanks for keeping us posted, scotty_c 

    Have you tried performing a system restart after uninstalling the channel, as advised in the previous post? If not, we highly recommend performing it by navigating to Settings > System > Power > System Restart.

    This should resolve the issue. 

    Keep us updated on how this goes.

    Best wishes,

    Hi, scotty_c 

    Welcome to the Roku Community.

    We understand that you are having an issue with your Roku device wherein you received an error message referring to space capacity. For this matter, we recommend performing a troubleshooting step to resolve this issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

    1. Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the star (*) key on your remote, and choose "Remove channel" that you rarely use.
    2. Next, restart your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).
    3. Once your player/TV starts up again, kindly check to see if you are able to access apps without the error message. You can also add apps once more by going to "Streaming Store" on the Home screen and adding the channel.

    Let us know how this works, and we'll assist you further if the issue persists after performing the steps above.

    Best wishes,
    Kash

      Hi, I have tried removing all channels and only leaving the single channel that I want to open and would still get the error.

      The only thing that solves it is a factory reset, but even then the error seems to come back within a month.

      FYI -- Prior to a few months ago, this error never showed up in the 5-6 years that I've owned my current TV.

      To me it seems that some update was pushed that is causing funky behavior.

    I've had roku for years...I loved it. I loved it so much I bought another TV with roku installed in it. However recently I keep getting the error no room on my roku device and to cancel apps for memory.  Thus is crazy....thus never happened before. On my roku TV it is not happening and I have MANY more apps on this TV.  However on the TV with the roku device it just is giving me terrible issues. I believe with all these comments, there is a system fluke that needs addressed.
