I had it turned on my Apple TV 4.
That home screen had become kind of a mess, full of stuff that I don't want.
So I set up my Apple TV 4K, fresh, and then, naively, turn that on, presuming/hoping that I'd be given a choice to set the new setting up as the default. But nope, dozens of unwanted apps start downloading (doubly kind of a mess because my TV4 was a 64 GB, on which everything fit, and the TV4K is a 32 GB, on which nearly everything ended up as an undownloaded stub app icon after the device storage quickly filled up, which seemed to cause its own cascade of problems that were not helped by the fact that the dynamic data deletion is an un-transparent catastrophe in itself).
So now I, again, want to reset this 4K, hoping this might fix some of the many of the problems (screen savers, homekit, album art and playlist syncing, etc.) I'm having. But unless I can reset the "One Home Screen" function (which seems to be the only available means for device backup, and would be nice to use to transfer a new, cleaned-out home screen back to that Apple 4) it essentially is dead to me, because it will an unholy slog to manually delete all those old, unwanted apps, and, more importantly, I have zero insight into which possibly-corrupted settings this old instance of "One Home Screen" will try to resuscitate here, there, and everywhere, forever. So anyone, how do I reset this "feature"?
iCloud has all these cloud-based "features" (One Home Screen, Game Center, HomeKit, iCloud Photo Library, etc.) that so many devices interface with, in various different manners, but which can't truly be managed/reset from anywhere... which is unfortunate, because I have persistent, never-addressed issues with nearly all of them.
