Storage critically low - firestick 4k max

[Jemmaney2580]

Hiya.
I am using tivimate and have the premium version. I have a couple of issues and would love some guidance please.
Channels work fine (mostly), VOD and series often will not load. I did a factory reset and started over and now I am being told I have critically low storage. I have cleared cache, deleted unused apps (any app except express vpn and tivimate). I have cleared app file data.. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to resolve this.
Any advice appreciated

What device tivimate not a huge size app. You are deleting apk after you have installed apps aren't you

Use external player like vlc for movies etc

You will have to do a factory reset to clear and reinstall everything and delete files/cached storage, it's a bug in the software which is an absolute pain. I've done 3 sticks, deleted nearly everything and still showed barely any memory.

A factory reset will correct it. Check software update also.

Also try turning the buffer size down in Tivi. :)

How long are you storing Past EPGs for? I do the smallest possible to save space.

EPG stores TV schedules. Keeping past ones isn’t needed unless for reviews or analysis. To save space, keep only current and upcoming data

For VOD and series not loading, it could be an issue with your playlist provider check if the links are up-to-date. Also, ensure your internet connection is stable and try switching VPN servers or testing without it briefly.

For the storage issue, "critically low storage" usually points to system storage, not just app cache. Check if there are hidden downloads (like thumbnails from VOD) or consider moving less-used apps to an external drive (if possible).

Try logging into amazon account from your computer/phone and then de-link/remove the firestick from the account and the re-link it.
