Hello There.
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice.
I have gone through my kodi and removed Add-ons that I don't use. I went through the settings, clicked on the add-on, disabled the add-one and then uninstalled it. Once completed it was nice to see Add-ons on the screen that I only really use. After a few days the add-ons that I have removed had all returned.
Is there something that I have missed to stop this from happening?
Many thanks in advance

Or some addons are installed because they are dependencies for other addons? I have seen this...

I have the following add-ons which were pre-installed when the box was brought. I have tried several times to remove the add-ons and then after a few days they keep returning and not sure what else I could possible do to remove them completely.
The add-ons that I am trying to remove are:
1 Channel

As you can see from the list above I got a load of add-ons that are on the box and don't use and would like to remove them. To remove the add-ons I went into the settings, my add-ons and then my video add-ons. I clicked on the add-on and then un-ticked auto updated, disabled the add-one and then uninstalled it. I have done this with all the listed add-ons above, and after a few days they all returned again.
Does anyone else know any other way to do?
Thank you

Oh wow, that is a lot!!!
Ok, with so many add-ons and repositories installed, the only way to completely remove them is to do a complete uninstall of Kodi and then re-install. Trying to uninstall all of these one at a time will leave remnants behind.
You will need to tell us what your hardware is. Please be specific so we give the right instructions. If you can provide a website link to what you have, that will be good enough.

instead of a complete re-install of kodi, could I not just go in and uninstall the video add-ons as well as the repositories?
I read that "What most Kodi rookies don’t realize is that if you don’t like the addon and decide to delete it, the repository connection still remains. If you want to remove both an addon and its repository, you have to do so separately".
I had not been doing this just the video add-on.

You probably have a "build" or some other config wizard or such if addons keep returning after being uninstalled.

To start Kodi afresh - go into Android settings and....
Android settings > Apps > Kodi > Clear Data & Clear Cache
And if pesky Addons still reappear - go the Nuke it from Orbit option - you know just to be sure ;-)
Android settings > Apps > Kodi > Uninstall

I am using Kodi for quite some time - I am using know 17.6
I have setup my Kodi very nicely and one thing I have noticed, is that the number of bytes that Kodi is occupying, is getting bigger and bigger, despite the fact that I have uninstalled many add-ons.
If I understand correctly, when you DO uninstall an app from one's system, it automatically means all relative files from that person's system are removed as well.
It does not make sense for the files of this app to stay on board.
I have two add-ons in Kodi that act like this.
One was "autocompletion". which had a subdirectory "Google", and below this about 9000 files( all very small files)
...\kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.autocompletion\Google\...
The other one was "Openweathermaps".....
...\kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.openweathermap.maps\maps\windmap\..... 618 files.
I would like to do something and decrease my Kodi' s size.
Any suggestions ??
