Clean up a slow Android TV for your parents
A user let Claude Code connect over Wi-Fi to his parents' old Android TV with 2 GB of memory and ad rows that could not be turned off. Claude Code turned off bloatware and tracking, uninstalled 11 unused apps, and free memory rose by roughly 90 percent. The new home screen uses about 12 MB. Almost everything can be undone with one command, but he writes that every TV is different and you do it at your own risk.

How to do it

- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with Claude Code
Connect to my Android TV over Wi-Fi at [TV IP address], and explain what I need to press on the TV. List every app in three groups: safe to turn off, needed by the TV and apps we use. Show me each change before you make it, turn apps off instead of deleting them, and never touch Google Play, the keyboard or Bluetooth. You are done when I have free memory before and after and a list of everything changed.
