PROBLEMS with your Amazon Fire TV Stick may be due to the apps you’ve downloaded.

Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV have a total of 8GB of storage each.

Once you’ve used it up you’ll need to start deleting apps to make room for others.

Considering the tens of thousands of apps you can download, it’s easy to have way more than you need.

It’s easy to uninstall an app on your Fire Stick device.

Turn on your TV and head to the Settings section with your Fire remote.

This should be in the top right-hand corner.

Next, you’ll want to head to Manage Installed Applications.

Click this and then select the app or apps you want to remove.

All you have to do next is click Uninstall.

You’ll see a popup appear that covers the whole screen.

It will ask you if you’re sure you want to delete the app.

Select Uninstall again and the app will be removed.

Now you’ve freed up space, you may find your TV-watching experience is smoother.

Buffering issues can also be due to a poor internet connection.
