Hi,

I'm running a 2021 Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15.5.1.

Recently I uninstalled an app which was connected to the Apple TV+ app. As You know, "connected" means that e. g. watch status is shared by a third party app to the Apple TV+ app. Once the app was deleted, it still shows up in the settings of the Apple TV+ app (Settings app => Apps => TV). Do You know a way to get rid of those leftovers?

And no, I don't want to (factory) reset my Apple TV ;)

Under settings>apps>tv>connect to tv scroll down to the app you uninstalled and turn off. That should remove shows connected to that service without having to factory reset.

Thanks, that helped. Once You toggle the switch to "Off", You are asked if You just want to remove the app or remove the app AND delete its play history. I selected the second option and now all data from the specific app is gone from the TV app.
