Stick storage issues

Streaming Devices / Hardware
1

I have a 4K Fstick with a 256G thumbdrive attached where I put 3rd party apps. Despite having ONLY amazon apps on the internal drive on the FS I constantly get mssgs saying “not enough storage available” even trying to update apps on the internal . I have found NO way to dispose of or move the useless amazon apps that I never use (pretty much all of them). I have cleared cache and data where I can. Is there ANY way to get rid of the preloaded Amazon garbage ?.. thanks

If you use the search function, you will see that this has been discussed many times. Pre-installed Amazon FireTV apps that come preloaded on the Amazon device cannot be removed. Amazon made them protected modules.

On what devices? All preloaded Amazon apps are now protected modules and on the 4k Max, as an example, cannot be disabled, or removed. They can only be returned to factory setup using say ES File Explorer.

yes… mine is as you describe . A 4K firestick. I am aware that there is no way of deleting the pre installed apps thru the built in application manager but was hoping there might be a work around as other than Prime the is nothing I want that they included.

As I stated. You cannot remove them. Amazon made them “protected” modules a few months back with an update.

It no longer disables things like Amazon kids, Amazon shopping, ad nauseum. It use to, but updates have changed that.

They will all come back once it updates. I’m not trying to mislead you at all. Amazon apps are now “protected” modules and cannot be removed.

What version of FireTV do you have now?
and 1.2 GB of space is enough to run everything on the 4K Max.
