Once you’ve installed a Kodi Build, you might want to remove it at some point. You’ll see how simple and easy it is by following this guide. Removing a Build takes less than 2 minutes!
Kodi can be installed on almost any device, e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, PC and more. However, Kodi cannot be installed from the Amazon app store. To install it on a Firestick, it must be sideloaded.
The Amazon Firestick, a top contender in the streaming device market, is particularly popular for its affordability and the ease with which it can be jailbroken. With just a few straightforward adjustments, you can unlock its full potential, making it an attractive option for those looking to break free from traditional cable TV.

Why Remove a Kodi Build?
In the long run, there may be several reasons why you would want to remove or uninstall a Kodi Build. Once you’ve used a Build, you may decide you don’t like it. You could find that there are other Builds that you want to try instead. In that case, you will want to remove your existing Build.
However, a Build can take up a lot of storage space on your device, particularly if you use a Firestick, which does not come with masses of internal space. You may find that a particular Build is too large and runs too slowly on a Firestick. In that case, you may want to try a lighter Build such as CrewNique or install a few addons instead of a Build.
Furthermore, you could be experiencing issues with a Build, perhaps because it’s not quite functioning as well or as fast as it used to. Or you’re getting errors as well as no links. It could be that the Build needs an update or a refresh, so removing it and adding it again could help to resolve issues like these.
It could also be that the Build isn’t updating correctly; this could happen due to the developer changing the repository location. In that case, you must install the Build using the new repository. Otherwise, you won’t be able to receive important updates.
