How to Troubleshoot Low Memory on LG Smart TV

LG's smart TVs have the modern webOS operating system to run apps and games on the big screen, but suffer from the same storage limitation of third-party products. Televisions generally do not offer much space for storing files, which often generates insufficient memory errors when running programs or opening pages in the browser. Unlike computers, there is no way to increase the fixed memory or RAM of the smart TV.

The user has to delete files from the TV to prevent full storage problems from affecting the use of the device. See, in the following tutorial, the step-by-step how to clear memory on LG smart TV.

Here's how to remove apps to free up space on the LG smartphone

Uninstall apps

LG's smart TV does not allow you to change storage settings to clear cache and other unwanted items. So the best way to reclaim space is by excluding apps downloaded from the store and that are no longer so used.

Step 1. Press the Home button on the remote control to get the webOS menu on the LG smart TV screen;

Step 2. Use the control arrows to scroll to the right end of the options menu. Select "Edit";

Go to the LG Smart TV apps edit menu

Step 4. Press the up arrow to select the delete option. Click the center button of the control to remove;

Format your smart TV

A more drastic move to free up space on TV is to resort to factory restoration. The procedure performed by the device settings applies a system reset and removes all installed files over the time of use. When resuming operation, the LG smart TV is left with the system zeroed and with more free storage. With this, chances are less of seeing errors like "This app will be restarted to release more memory on the TV."
