How to Remove Roku From TV?
You can remove a Roku Device from your Smart TV by unlinking it from your account. But you cannot delete Roku software from Roku TV.

Then, while performing a new setup, you can disable Roku features. You can check out the steps below.
Unlink From Your Account
You can unlink both your smart TV and Roku Player from your account. This will disconnect the devices, and users can no longer stream from your account. However, you must note that unlinking will not cancel your subscription or deactivate your account. To perform this, you must go to the Roku website. Here are the steps for it.
Factory Reset
After unlinking, you can perform a factory reset on your Roku TV. Since it will reset the entire settings, all your stored information will be gone.
