Problem not solved as of November 19th of 2024.
I FOUND NO SOLUTION ON THIS SITE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH REMOVING BACKDROPS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT BEFORE IT WAS EVER ROLLED OUT
As of 11/19/2024 BACKDROP CANNOT BE REMOVED. COME ON ROKU SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
I have no answer for you but I did want to post the same problem. I couldn't see how to do that independently so I'm using this as an answer. It's likely easy enough but we're not all techie whizzes. Perhaps if those who run these things learn how many customers want backdrops gone, dead, and buried, they'll do something about it. I may have to go back to cable because at least they'll never give you anything for free since whether you want it is unimportant to those companies. I had naively believed Roku was better than that. It has shown up without being downloaded to the Roku TVs and through the Roku devices. I'm beginning to be sorry we invested in so many. We despise this addition. It has made things more difficult than they need to be,
My settings menu will not open while Backdrops is open. So frustrating
How to Disable Backdrops?
@walkonsmenu, the following page says you enable/disable it from the app's settings. I haven't used Backdrops yet, so I can only go by that page.
