The Fire TV Stick from Amazon is an amazing device if you want to watch your favorite Prime movies or TV shows on your smart TV.  Not just Prime shows and movies, it also allows you to install different apps that you can stream on your TV. However, installing a lot of apps on your Fire TV Stick might also clutter it and affect its performance. Therefore you must know how to declutter your Fire Stick by deleting apps.

The feature of adding applications on your Fire TV Stick works very well and improves its functions.
