Troubleshooting Issues While Uninstalling Apps on Hisense TV

Generally, you can easily uninstall all the unwanted apps on your Hisense TV. However, if you face any issues while uninstalling the app, follow the below troubleshooting steps to fix it.

• Pre-installed Apps: Confirm whether the app that you are trying to install is built-in or not. Since Hisense TVs come with a few built-in apps, you cannot uninstall them as they might be essential for your TV’s operation.
• App Might be running in the background: If the app that you are trying to uninstall is not deleting, then the app might be running in the background. Close the app properly and try uninstalling it again.
• The Uninstall option is greyed out: If there is no uninstall option for the app or the option is greyed out, it might be due to a minor technical glitch. Try to update your Hisense TV and check whether the issue is solved. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset on your Hisense TV to fix the issue.
