Hello All

I have been upgrading quite a bit of my movie collection to 4K as and when its available and in the process now I seem to have both the 4K and blu ray version. Is there a way to delete those blu ray versions and just keep the 4K to maximize the space?

Cheers

There is a way:

1. Using a browser on your computer/phone/tablet, navigate to the IP address of your K device.
2. Log in to the device.
3. Select your Movies tab.
4. Click on the white box to the left of the movie title you want to delete.
5. At the bottom of the screen, click ”Delete” and a dialogue box will pop up prompting you to select which version you want to delete.
6. Be careful to ensure that HD is selected, and HDR is not.
7. Confirm deletion.

Thank you. I will try this once home next week. Thanks a ton.
 
One quick heads-up for you. If a movie has extras (making-of featurettes, deleted scenes, etc.), those are typically bundled with the HD download. So, if you care about extras, you may wish to keep the HD versions of any movies for which you want to watch the extras.
 
I have almost never watched HD Extras. So I will give this a shot once back home this weekend. I may have to quarantine at home after flying back home this Friday.
