To find the biggest apps on your Apple TV and remove them, press the “Menu” or “<” button on your remote. From the home screen, scroll down and select Settings. Then, go to General > Manage Storage to see all your apps sorted by size. Finally, select any app to “Delete” or “Offload” it.
If you think you might use the app in the future, it’s a good idea to choose “Offload.” This could shrink the app size by 99% while keeping your settings, passwords, and other very small files. Then, the next time you want to use the app, you can redownload it and start using it right away.
