First things first, let’s make sure you have your Amazon Fire Stick and remote handy. Take a deep breath, and let’s get started!

To begin, make sure you’re on the home screen of your Amazon Fire Stick. This is where you see all your apps. You can get there by pressing the Home button on your remote. Easy peasy, right?

Next, we need to go to the Settings menu. Using the arrow buttons on your remote, scroll to the right until you reach the gear icon. That’s the one you want! Go ahead and click on it.

In the Settings menu, you’ll see a bunch of options. Look for the one that says “Applications” and select it. We’re almost there!
Step 4: Manage Installed Applications
Within the Applications menu, you’ll find a section called “Manage Installed Applications.” This is where you can find all the apps on your Amazon Fire Stick. Go ahead and click on it to proceed.
Step 5: Locate Kodi
Now, it’s time to find Kodi on the list of installed applications. Scroll through the apps until you spot Kodi. It might take a bit of scrolling, so be patient! Once you find it, click on it.
Step 6: Uninstall Kodi
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the final step. On the Kodi app page, scroll down and look for the “Uninstall” button. Give it a click, and Kodi will be uninstalled from your Amazon Fire Stick.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully removed Kodi from your Amazon Fire Stick. Wasn’t so bad, was it? Now you have a clean slate to explore other apps and enjoy your streaming experience. If you ever change your mind and want to reinstall Kodi, you can always download it again.

Hey there! So, here’s the deal: if you want to upgrade Kodi on your Amazon Fire Stick, you’ll need to reinstall it. On the other hand, if you’re tired of using Kodi and want to switch to a different system, you’ll have to uninstall it. That’s what I’m here to help you with today. Let’s go through the steps of how to uninstall Kodi from an Amazon Fire Stick.
The Amazon Fire Stick is actually a pretty cool device on its own. It gives you access to lots of TV shows and movies, making it a great buy. But when you install Kodi, it takes things to a whole new level. With Kodi and its addons, your options for streaming content become endless. And the best part? Installing Kodi only takes about five minutes, so every Fire Stick user should definitely give it a try at least once.
Now, I can’t imagine why someone would want to get rid of Kodi forever, but just in case, I’ll also show you how to reinstall a newer version.
Let’s uninstall Kodi from your Amazon Fire Stick.
Whether you’re uninstalling Kodi for good or just upgrading to a newer version, the process is exactly the same. But before we begin, if you’re removing Kodi forever, it’s a good idea to get rid of all the addons you installed. Sometimes, removing Kodi doesn’t automatically remove these addons, and they’ll just take up space on your Fire Stick if you leave them there.
I recommend removing any addons first before moving on to uninstalling Kodi. However, if you’re just replacing one version with another, you don’t have to remove addons.
- First, open your Amazon Fire TV and go to Settings.
- Then, select Applications and go to Manage Installed Applications.
- Scroll through the list of applications until you find Kodi.
- Select Kodi and then choose Uninstall on the next screen.
- Confirm your choice on the following screen.
- Let the uninstallation process complete.
And there you have it! That’s the easiest way to uninstall Kodi from your Amazon Fire Stick. Of course, you can also use other programs like Apps2Fire or adbFire to remove it. But personally, I find these two programs to be the most reliable for managing my Fire Stick.
- Now, if you want to use Apps2Fire or adbFire, you’ll need to know the IP address of your Fire Stick. You can find this in the Settings menu (go to Settings, then Device, then About, and finally Network).
- Once you have the IP address, open Apps2Fire or adbFire and enter the address in the designated window.
- Select Fire TV Stick and choose the option to Uninstall APK. The wording may vary depending on the program you’re using.
- Find Kodi in the list or type its name, then select Apply.
- When a list of Kodi installations appears, highlight the one you want to remove and select OK.
- Confirm the uninstallation if necessary.
And just like that, Kodi will be removed from your Fire Stick.
How to Upgrade Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick
Hey there! I want to share some important info about upgrading Kodi on your Amazon Fire Stick. You might be wondering if you can simply upgrade it from within, but unfortunately, that’s not possible. I haven’t tried it myself, but someone who knows these things told me that you actually need to uninstall the old version and then reinstall the new one in order for it to work properly.
So, here’s what you need to do to install a newer version of Kodi:
- Go to https://kodi.tv/download and download the latest version of Kodi for ARMV7A(32BIT).
- Install Apps2Fire or adbFire on your device. These tools will help you install the downloaded file.
- Connect Apps2Fire or adbFire to your Fire Stick by entering the Fire Stick’s IP address.
- Select “Local Apps” and then choose “Install”.
- Navigate to the downloaded Kodi file.
- Allow Kodi to install on your Fire Stick.
- Once the installation is complete, select “Launch” from the Kodi list that appears on your Fire Stick.
If you had any addons from a previous installation and they are compatible with the newer version of Kodi, they should still be there and ready to use. You might need to update them, but you can do that within Kodi itself without any extra steps.
Using Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick
Now, I wouldn’t want to skip an important topic while talking about Kodi – security. Just so you know, using Kodi on its own is completely legal. Even using many of those addons is fine. However, things can get legally tricky if you start using Kodi or addons to access copyrighted content. At TechJunkie, we don’t support that kind of thing, but we do recommend that you always protect yourself online by using a VPN.
Here’s the deal: you can configure your Amazon Fire Stick to work with a VPN, and it’s a good practice to use one for all your online activities, no matter what they are. Your personal data is valuable, so you need to keep it safe. So, whenever you’re online, make sure you use a good quality VPN!
That’s all you need to know about uninstalling or upgrading Kodi on your Amazon Fire Stick. The process is the same no matter what you decide to do. So go ahead and enjoy your Kodi experience!
