Maybe the somewhat recently made Android app "CCleaner" would work.
It can be found on the Play Store,and its been submitted by Piriform itself.
I haven't tried it out yet,but it has the option to clean the Download folder.

Just don't expect any widgets to work on Fire TV.
Ccleaner does not work
Let me guess,the widget triggered immediate closing of the app?
EFFIN HATE widgets since they don't work on Fire TV and cause nothing but trouble when apps depend on them!!!
Only the RAM clearing rectangle widget works,nothing else besides onscreen IME controls and a few other things.
Maybe you could email the dev and ask about Fire TV support through Google Play for rooted users.

Hi all,
I have downloaded fifa 12 and after realising that it don't work, I immediately proceed to uninstalling it.
The problem is fifa 12 downloaded an additional resource of appx 1.2gb. And removing the app doesnt remove this 1.2gb.
How do I remove an app entirely... else I think I wasted a lot of storage spaces.

Download a file manager
Form my G-Nex *****
how did you uninstall it? i'm assuming if you just uninstall via the Play Store or Settings, then reboot, the files would disappear.
If the game put its files where it should they are deleted automatically when you uninstall.
I uninstall through settings ... however my used storage still stands at 3.2gb

Get a file manager go into sdcard/Android/data and delete it there
A Filemanager is one way but often there is a much easier way with ICS:
Identify the orphaned files/folder via Settings > Storage. Most of the time you can just delete the unwanted files right from this menu or at least get the location of the files to delete them with a file explorer.
damn was going to get fifa aswell.
FIFA not working????????

This is a great non-bloated file manager. Free and open source.
Hi all,
Running kodi/Helix 14.0 sideloaded on my non-rooted fireTV.... With no other extras or addons apart from my network attached HD.
Using IkonoTV as my launcher.
all updates blocked via opendns.
I just wanted to know if it was possible to change the background wallpaper on the main screen...
I know I have to go to System/Settings and then to appearance then go to skin tab and then to settings....then the tab for "Background Options" then "enable custom Background".
Once I have done this I then go to "Background Path:" and this is where I get stuck..... It's been a real pig... because the only two options I have are "External Storage" and "Root Filesystem". It's impossible for me to be able to change either of these directorys to anything else. And believe me, I've tried.
I've tried adding my photos "under the main photo tab" on the main screen held on my external storage HD and I have no problem with that...
Is the reason I cannot change the background because my firetv is not rooted, (root is not possible, due to when it was produced).
I would really appreciate any advice or help on this, as I'm googled out, and I've given up looking at the amount of tube vids telling me how to install kodi...
Is it possible for me to use adbfire to add images to the firetv somehow?
Weird thing is, nearly all of the folders I have looked in within "external storage" and "root filesystem" are empty...
One good thing is that I managed to find a tube video showing how to update kodi on a firetv without loosing ones settings using adbfire, as I wanted to update to 14.2.
Thanks chaps for reading my help request... as I seem to be all out of luck at the moment. (wish it was as easy to change the wallpaper on my firetv as it is on my laptop).
Install ES file explorer on fire tv via adb. Link it to your dropbox or Google drive account. Copy photos to your cloud account using your PC. Access from fire TV using ES file explorer and download to folder of your choice.

Thanks for the info D33H...... cheers mate..
I have to admit, I did eventually manage to get it done by using adbfire, by changing the push folder to "sdcard" and pushing my photos that way.... not ideal as I would like them in a particular folder of my choice, but at least kodi can now see my images in "external storage"....
But I like the idea of using ES file explorer, so I might try it that way as well.
On a sidenote, is it possible to run kodi without ones internet on,..... I've tried but i only get a flashing orange light,.... would this be happening, because i have set a 4 digit code on my firetv.. (to stop anyone from making unnecessary purchases by mistake).
I only ask because if my internet goes down it would be nice to still be able to use kodi.
Hi i just recently bought a fire tv loaded...I'm using ftv app.. is there a way to extract all the files in the loaded fire stick and side loaded again?
If you sideload ES file explorer it can. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the navigation and set up an ftp, smb or cloud share bookmark before you begin.
Go to library-app then long press the app, once you see a check mark on the app select backup. It will save to sdcard/backups/apps. Navigate to that folder the long press select-more-(copy to or move to) the ftp, smb, cloud share bookmark you created.
Sounds like a lot but you can select multiple files when you do this. I backup all my apks because it is faster to setup this way then using amazons method after a factory reset. Not a clone though.

I've got a non-rooted AFTV 1 with some games installed. Now I want to upgrade to a (non-rooted) AFTV 2. How can I copy my game settings from my AFTV 1 to the AFTV 2? I've tried whispersync option, but it didn't work for me. I don' want to start every game again from scratch.

I think if you go into your file system with something like "File Explorer or Es File Manager on Your AFTV or using ADB or an FTP server on your computer" & goto sdcard0/android/data & find the file there for your game just find the right name or the auther of the game? & copy that into your new AFTV in the same location (sdcard0/android/data) after you have already installed The game on it first though, & just copy/replace the old file. See if this works.... It should do?
If this helped don't forget to press that thanks button ?
Yes, I've tried that, with ES Explorer as a FTP server (remote manager). But there are no files in /sdcard/android/data/com.ratrodstudio.snowparty2/ for that game. Also i can't find any game settings folder for the game "Xenowerk". Where could that be?

With adb try extracting the folders before sdcard0? I'd presume that the file your looking for maybe in system or sys then In the folder app? I'm at work now & not anywhere near a AFTV or a laptop so I can't help anymore than that at the moment

App manager in settings app shows 5MB of game data, meaning there must be some files. I've searched again on device root, not only on sdcard. Also tried total commander, but could not find any game or app setting files. I'm not familiar with adb. how to extract folders as you mentioned?

Google ADB Fire, add the ip address & then find your device, press connect, then look for the part where it says push & pull, pull from where ever you need then push it back after you done what ever you want to add, when finished disconnect.

I've think it's useless without root. i've got no access to /root/data/ folder where most app or game settings are stored. this is really pain in the ass for people using a Fire TV for gaming and upgrade their device, lose all game settings. Amazon should provide a cloud storage option to migrate devices.

My fire sticks which are 1st & 2nd Gen are not rooted & I can use ADB Fire with those, I've not been trying to mess with game data but have modded/added & changed a few things?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
When trying to access /root/data/ with ADBFire or TotalCommander, i get an "access denied" message. ES Explorer shows the Bilder AS empty, which isn't the truth. Backup apps i've tried also can't create a backup of the data. You can do a data backup if the app or game use /sdcard/Android/data/ as storage location.
I tried the backup from adb
I connect with adbfire, then run ADB
adb backup -noapk com.ubisoft.rayman.fiestarun
the message in adb tells me to confirm the backup on my device. on my smartphone i got a black screen where I can confirm, decline or can type a password. After confirmation a file backup.ab is created in my adb folder on my client. The smartphone is not rooted and there is no need to do it.
On myaftv1 I never get that black screen where I'm asked to confirm the backup, so it s´doesn't start.
Is there anything I can do, like install some apks?

Apkpure dot com has it.
I have the same problem but the app I'm looking for is 9Now which comes installed on my Sony TV and doesn't need a mouse to control. I want to copy the apk so I can install it on my shield.
I tried Solid explorer but 9Now doesn't show up on it even tho it is on my Home screen and works.
Any suggestions?

It's probably a system app and by default the file manager you're using is not showing system apps. See if there's an option to enable it.
I use X-Plore file manager and it has an "app manager" that lists all installed apps. By default though system apps are turned off, so I have to bring up the context menu and click on "show system apps".
After which I can find any app installed and back up the APK by creating a copy of it.
Solid Explorer shows system apps but it isn't listed amongst them. Will give X-Plore a try.
cheers
UPDATE: Tried X-Plore, Same thing neither 9Now nor ABC iView appear yet both are displayed on the Recommended apps list and work when clicked on. Odd thing is they never work first time, only second time. It's as if both are just shortcuts for a temporary app that it downloads and installs but no sign of either on the TV.
Try installing Shareit
