If you have a Samsung TV, you'll find two kinds of YouTube apps: systems app and user-installed.

The system app is integrated into the TV's core system to ensure smooth operation without any glitches.

Removing a system app might be tricky as it's deeply ingrained in the software.

Deleting a system YouTube app may potentially void the warranty or lead to issues that require special tools or software adjustments.

User-installed applications, on the other hand, can be easily removed through the TV settings.

They're not integrated into the system right from the beginning, which makes them easier to manage.

You can download user-installed apps from the app store, making it simple to add or remove them as needed.

You can try installing ADB AppControl, which you can download from the website in APK format or directly from the Play Store on your Samsung Android TV. This app will help you uninstall the YouTube app.

If YouTube is a pre-installed app that's non-removable, you can't remove it easily.

However, you can still remove it if it's not pre-installed. To do this, go to the apps section on your Samsung TV and select YouTube, then uninstall it.
