Removing the Netflix application from a Roku device is a process that eliminates the application and associated data from the device’s storage. This action is distinct from simply logging out of the Netflix account. Uninstalling effectively deletes the application from the Roku, freeing up storage space and resetting the application to its default state.
There are several reasons to perform this action. It can resolve performance issues or errors within the application, such as persistent buffering or crashing. It is also useful when preparing to sell or give away the Roku device, ensuring personal account information is removed. Furthermore, uninstalling and reinstalling the application is a common troubleshooting step recommended by Netflix and Roku support.
