Remove a Remote from Device

I wish to remove a remote. There is no way of doing so. Unpairing the remote via Back+Home+Pair key command only unlinks the remote, not remove it from Settings. How do I go about doing that? Thanks.

  • I'm having the same issue this is completely garbage my new remote won't even respond to the roku after leaving it alone for a few hours forcing me to spend 15 mins troubleshooting a remote this is dumb I'm never using a a roku... remote ever again. I still have the old remote paired and repairing it to the device does nothing since forgetting the remote also does nothing.

    If you couldn't tell I'm pretty frustrated by this.

    As far as I know, you can't remove the one and only RF remote paired to a Roku device.  I'm sure Tivoburkee knows more about this than me.

      So I'd have to connect another remote to remove the gaming remote, yeah? I can't just use my phone and the IR remote to do this?

        Not as far as I know.  What are you trying to accomplish?  Maybe there's another way.  As I said, Tivoburkee is the remote expert.  He knows more about Roku remotes (and remotes in general) than almost anyone at Roku.

        If you really, really wanted to get rid of it, you could always factory reset the TV, but I don't recommend going that far just to get rid of a remote.
