I recently bought an android tv box. It comes pre-installed with kodi. Also pre-installed are kodi addons that don't work or I have no interest in them. How can I get rid of them?
Without more info it may be difficult to help you. Hopefully you should be able to go into the settings -> applications on the android box and remove the kodi installation. once removed you can install kodi from the googleplay store or manually from the APK file.
instructions here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Android
The uninstall buttons for these addons are grayed out. I did uninstall Kodi (even cleared data before uninstalling). When I re-installed Kodi from the Play store, all the pre-installed addons were still there! Of course the addons I installed myself were gone.
Deleted Userdata folder. Restarted Kodi. Addons still there.
It's a Goobang Doo M8S Plus box.
Delete the Kodi folder one level up from the
userdata (wiki) folder.
If that doesn't work then as @
nickr says, talk to the supplier and complain that they've sold you a box full of unsupported piracy add-ons making use of illegal sources that violates the Kodi Foundations terms of service and demand your money back,
is the android box pre-rooted if you got root access ? removing the shitty addon shouldnt be an issue.

It's also the reason why this thread is getting support responses rather than a visit to the bin. It's the only scenario we'd touch such a box.
hence the only reason im giving my 2 cents on the issue trying to help the user resolve the issue.

Yes, it is a comical name. The other thing is pressing space-shift switches the keyboard into Chinese. Very irrirating since I always seem to accidentally trigger it
