Can’t get rid of Samsung TV Plus live tv

[Kak2]

I previously removed  (or thought I removed) Samsung TV Plus from my neo qled but now it is omnipresent despite the absence of the app icon on my hub screen.  I still see live tv recommendations and see no option to stop those either.  I went through the Settings and can’t see any options concerning TV Plus.  Any suggestions?

Samsung actively promotes its TV Plus app, which can sometimes be intrusive. If you want to stop it from running automatically, follow these steps:

1. Disable the automatic startup of the last active application.

2. Turn Off Samsung TV Plus – Navigate to the Apps tab on your Samsung TV and disable the service.

3. Delete All Channels – Remove all preloaded channels to stop Samsung TV Plus from playing content.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, there is no way to completely remove it. You can only disable it. You can do that by clicking and holding the select button on the Samsung tv plus app and clicking disable, as removing will just remove it from the home screen.

Thanks for replying but the app icon had disappeared even though the content remained.  I was able to use another workaround

Thanks very much.  BTW  I got a message on my screen that there is a setting called “sources” which would allow me to reinstall
