My Roku won’t allow me to download apps

My Roku has recently stopped allowing me to watch on platforms I’ve used multiple times. Saying “there’s no room” for it. I’ve deleted almost every “app” to where I only have 5 apps and it’s still saying I have no room. I’m so confused please help. I’m getting aggrevated.

Re: My Roku won’t allow me to download apps

This usually is a symptom of the Roku's memory cache getting corrupted.  A system restart should clear it.  You'll find the "System restart" option under "Settings > System > Power" for Roku TVs and some Roku streamer models. On models without a Power option, it's under "Settings > System".

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.
