Firestick Apps Being Removed? How to Disable Auto Offload

As I mentioned Anth use the search at the top there are all sorts of articles with regards to this issue and one of them should be able to help you out.
:mag::point_up:

That’s just an example of one and that’s on Troy’s main site but there are also other articles here as well, various methods, explanations as to why you can’t find it where it can be found how to do it it’s just a matter of reading looking at them and finding the one that works for you

Hey Miki, found a thread on it i will post in there. Any idea how to delete this thread?

@TROYPOINT will see this thread and most likely merge it into the other thread for you.
Thank you for your cooperation as well and please don’t take this as any sort of an attack on you it’s just that Troy has had so many of the exact same topics posted Time after Time after Time and this just takes up a lot of space and it’s actually unnecessary space so he’s trying to get people to learn to use the search and do a lot of reading first and then if after you’ve read everything that’s available you can’t find an answer then post a brand new topic. :+1:

I did not have the option to turn off the Auto-Off loader. I did an update on my Fire Stick 4K Max and still do not have the option to turn it off.

Is this an older 4K Maxx or the brand new 2023 4K Maxx

This is one of the older 4k max sticks.

On my new 4kmax it won’t let me turn it off either.

Go to 2 min mark of video this should show you how to stop it. On the new OS 8 firesticks custom launcher is available so you also can use launchers to avoid this as well.https://youtu.be/vNvL6Wl3I9A

Anyone else have this happen while not using Firestick? I have disabled auto delete for storage issues so this wouldn’t happen. Anyone else’s have this happen and have a fix? TYIA

have you clicked on allow apps in your settings

Yes…interesting thing is it wont let me even download IPTVSmartersPro APP anymore. Thanks for answering

in the end i had to do a factory reset fixed all probs

Just had this happen to me. This is a first for me in all my years of using these sticks. Thanks so much for the helpful video to help fix this issue. I am going to be getting the newest version soon. Some helpful info in this thread to fix this issue on those versions as well. I will bookmark this topic for sure.

I have a 2nd generation 4k max. I looked at my storage earlier today and I had 6.80 out of the 12.86 they give you. While watching tv tonight the window pops telling me I’m low on storage. I now have 692MB of storage. I went to my apps and noticed they had deleted most of my sideloaded ones. I tried to install Surfshark from downloader and the amazon appstore but it told me I don’t have enough storage. They deleted a bunch of apps and I still don’t have enough storage. My sd card is set up for recordings only.
Do you have any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
