You cant remove them as such i believe, but you can move thrm to the far right so your hardly use them. With the magic remote just hover over the app you wish to move then drag upwards and slide to the right. Then press ok on the remote to place it

Thanks.

Highlight the app icon then press the up arrow key on remote and the icon should pop up out of the list then press up again and a small cross should appear - select on the cross and enter the app will be gone. I am doing this from memory so might not be exact but you will get there from the description.

Thanks for the replies. I have version 4.30.16

None of the above suggestions work for me, probably my lack of understanding of this new TV :-)

I assume I should be using the Magic remote?

 

If I hover over the app it pops up slightly. To drag I guess I press and hold the wheel? Nothing happens when I do this.

 

If I highlight the app and press the up arrow, selection of the app is lost and the pointer moves to the Inputs icon at the top of the screen.

 

I have ver 4 software, where should the option "x" to remove show up?

 

I appreciate all your help, would love to get this sorted out.

OK, I got it figured thanks. I had to move to the right hand side to get the full list of apps then I could remove them, really appreciate the help.

Apologies - I was assuming you had already expanded the list. Glad you got there in the end.

      changing the region made all the apps unavailable
      By Luka Pantsulaia
      I bought LG smart tv. for some reason region selected was Africa and could only choose from african countries and had very little available apps in content store. I live in Georgia, so figured that  changing region to EU would help so changed it to 3122 and selected service country UK because Georgia was not in the list. after that every app says that it is not available in current country. I have  default region code saved so I guess could go back but wondering if any one can help me to get it working in EU. or if anyone have region code in which Georgia is available it will be helpful as well.

      International contents from JioCinema and Hotstar Apps are not playing on my new 48inch C4X OLED TV
      By Nihar Ranjan Dash
      The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App. 
      I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
      **I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
      It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
      Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.

      Some WebOs apps like Youtube and Amazon are broken with physical keyboard. How to fix?
      By netsplit
      Youtube only lets you type numbers, and not letters. Amazon doesn't let you type anything unless you use the really really really slow onscreen keyboard. It's ruining the tv experience. Can't search for topics or shows without the slow drugery of the slow remote and onscreen keyboard.
       
      Is something ms configured or is WebOs really this awful?
