Press the Home button
On your Fire TV remote, find the button with a small picture of a house. Press it once. The main Fire TV screen appears. If you ever feel lost, this button always brings you back here.

Open Settings
Press the right side of the round ring on your remote until you reach the small gear picture on the top row. Then press the middle of the ring. This middle button is called Select, and it works like “OK”.

Open My Fire TV
Press the arrows on the ring to find My Fire TV, then press Select. On some newer software, this is called Device & Software. Both names lead to the same place.

Open About
Press the down arrow until About is highlighted. Highlighted means it looks brighter than the others. Then press Select.

Open Storage
Press the down arrow to Storage. You can read how much space is free on the right side. You want at least 1 GB free.

Open Downloader
Press Home, hold it down and choose Apps, then open Downloader. Move to Files on the left, and press Select.

You may see files that end in .apk. These are old installers, and you no longer need them. Highlight one, press the Menu button with three lines, and choose Delete.
