    Hi I am trying to install Kodi on my MX box but it says there is not enough space and to manage apps, when I go to the apps the only ones that are using a lot of MBs are the Google apps, is it possible to delete these apps?

    Are you putting in new kodi version , if so you have to delete old version to free up space , first off did your box come preloaded ?

    I have deleted the old version, and yes it came pre loaded. Can I wipe everything off it and just leave the browser to start again.

    enra with mxbox should have at least 8gb, 4gb after box loaded , its best to barebone box down as much as possable , you can delete apps that you are not using , but there is obviosly some some big apps in there thats eating up the space
    go to settings /others more setting , scroll down to apps and open check down the list to make sure old kodi is deleted and can also uninstall apps you dont want from there

    I have done all that Paulie, it says there is 390Mb of free space, there are no other big apps other than the Google ones, the new Kodi is 151 Mb and it won't let me load it.

    Do not understand what "Enra" is, I get the message "not enough space to load this app, please go to your apps and free up some space".
