Hi, @jason_19 

Greetings and welcome to the Roku Community.

The issue you have encountered is commonly related to memory issues that can be resolved with troubleshooting steps we'll provide that you can perform. To fix this issue, kindly refer to the steps below:

Remove apps that you rarely use (include Prime Video in the process.

  • Navigate to the channel tile on the Roku home screen, press the star (*) key on your remote, and choose "Remove channel".

Once you've removed all the rarely used apps/channels, restart your Roku device's system.

  • Next, restart your device from Settings > System > Power > System Restart (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).

After performing these steps, kindly add and install Prime Video once again and you should be able to access it successfully.

Sounds like the cache memory has gotten corrupted.

Powering on and off most likely won't work.

 

Go into settings and do a system restart and see if that helps.

 

You could also try unplugging the Roku for 30 to 60 seconds as well, if the system restart doesn't help.

It sounds like your TV's storage may be full due to cached data or hidden files. Try clearing the cache and data for apps like Netflix, YouTube, or Tubi in your TV's settings under "Storage" or "Apps." Delete unused or pre-installed apps you don’t need and check for downloaded files or offline content to free up space. If that doesn’t help, consider a factory reset to clear all data and start fresh. Alternatively, if your TV supports external storage, use a USB drive or SD card to expand space.
