My Roku tv won’t let me install any apps. It keeps saying there is not enough space to installed the selected apps. But I just reset my tv so there are no apps currently installed.

@davidrmusa-

That typically is a symptom of a corrupted memory cache. This can generally be cleared up by restarting the Roku.

Depending on your Roku model you'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power", or on models without a Power option, under "Settings > System".

Note: If you have a Roku TV with "Fast TV start" enabled, turning the TV off and back on just puts it into and out of a standby state and does NOT give you a complete restart. Use the menu option above.

If a restart doesn't do it, or if you don't have sufficient control with the remote to navigate the Roku menus, you can also restart by pulling the power plug to the Roku for a few seconds then plugging it back in and waiting for it to restart.
