The following article is a step-by-step guide on how to reset your Roku device.
If you are having issues with your Roku device, then completing a factory reset is oftentimes a solution.

However, prior to going through the process of a factory reset, it’s important to note the following changes that will occur:
Your Roku device will unlink from your Roku account
All personal preferences will be removed
You will have to go through the initial Roku device setup process again
In the screenshot tutorial below, we are resetting the Roku Streaming Stick+. However, this guide will also work all variations of the device including Roku Express, Premiere, and Ultra.
NOTE: KODIFIREIPTValways suggests using android-powered devices such as a Firestick or Fire TV for streaming. This is due to the side-loading abilities these players provide that allows users to install 3rd party applications not available in the device’s App Store.
Although we cover Roku devices on this Website, we don’t recommend them due to their closed system.  We recommend the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K due to its low price and ability to easily Jailbreak it which will allow for free movies, TV shows, live channels, ppv, sports, games, and more.
