Chromecast w/Google TV (HD): Uninstalled apps but tiles still appear under "Apps" tab

by nortok00

Hello folks,

Please let me know if this is not the right forum for this question.

I just purchased a Chromecast with Google TV (HD) in Canada. Everything went fine with the install but there are a bunch of streaming services I don't have subscriptions to and never will so I uninstalled them under Settings. Primarily Apple TV and Netflix. Once they uninstalled I restarted the Chromecast and went back under settings to confirm they were gone. "Yes" they gone however under the "Apps" tab the huge Apple TV tile is still there and more frustratingly it's first one and I keep accidentally clicking on it. How do I remove this? I thought it would be removed when I uninstalled the app. I would even be happy if I could move it but I can't. I can only move the smaller tiles under "My apps" below these large tiles.

I checked under settings for anything related to these tabs and optimizing them but couldn't find anything. Is there a cache under the Android apps section I need to clear (although I would've thought restarting the Chromecast would reset all caches)?

Also, is there a way to make the "Apps" tab my default tab when I hit the "Home" button on the remote? Current it defaults to "For you".

Thanks in advance.

That's not an app, it's advertising, make sure under your account services apple isn't enabled.

Annoyingly you will still get these.

As to the home screen, Google removed all customisations apart from apps only mode.
