Please note that removing your Netflix account from your LG Smart TV does not cancel your Netflix subscription. It simply disconnects your TV from your Netflix account. You will still be able to use your Netflix account on other devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or computers.
Before we dive into the steps, make sure you have a stable internet connection on your LG Smart TV. Also, ensure that you have your Netflix account credentials handy, as you may need to log in during the process.
Step 1: Access the Netflix app on your LG Smart TV
The first step to remove your Netflix account from your LG Smart TV is to access the Netflix app. Start by turning on your LG Smart TV and pressing the ‘Home’ button on your remote control. This will take you to the home screen of your TV, where you can access various apps and settings.
Using the arrow keys on your remote control, navigate to the ‘Apps’ section on the home screen. Here, you will find a collection of pre-installed apps and the option to download additional ones from the LG Content Store.
Locate the Netflix app among the available apps. The Netflix app icon is recognizable, featuring the distinctive red and white logo. Once you have found the Netflix app, highlight it by navigating to it using the arrow keys on your remote control.
Now, press the ‘OK’ button on your remote control to launch the Netflix app. This will open the app and take you to the Netflix home screen, where you can browse and stream content.
It is important to note that you need to be signed in to your Netflix account in order to proceed with the following steps. If you are not already signed in, you will be prompted to log in using your Netflix account credentials. Please ensure that you have the correct username and password for your Netflix account before proceeding.
Once you are logged in to the Netflix app on your LG Smart TV, you are ready to move on to the next step of removing your Netflix account.
Step 2: Go to the Netflix account settings
After launching the Netflix app on your LG Smart TV and logging into your account, it’s time to access the account settings. These settings allow you to manage various aspects of your Netflix account, including the devices linked to your account.
To access the Netflix account settings, navigate to the top menu of the Netflix app. This menu is usually located at the top of the screen and contains different options for browsing and managing your Netflix experience.
Using the arrow keys on your remote control, move the highlight to the top menu. Look for an option that represents your account profile or settings. It may be labeled as ‘Account’, ‘Profile’, or ‘Settings.’
Once you have found the account settings option, press the ‘OK’ button on your remote control to access it. This will take you to a new screen where you can make changes to your Netflix account.
Within the account settings, you will find various options related to your profile, playback settings, subtitles, and more. Look for the option that allows you to manage the devices linked to your Netflix account. It may be called ‘Manage Devices,’ ‘Device Management,’ or ‘My Devices.’
Highlight the devices management option and press the ‘OK’ button to access it. This will open a list of devices currently linked to your Netflix account, including your LG Smart TV.
Now that you have successfully reached the Netflix account settings and devices management section, you are ready to proceed to the next step of removing your Netflix account from the LG Smart TV.
Step 3: Select the ‘Deactivate Device’ option
Once you are in the device management section of the Netflix account settings on your LG Smart TV, it’s time to select the ‘Deactivate Device’ option. This option allows you to unlink your Netflix account from your LG Smart TV.
Using the arrow keys on your remote control, navigate through the list of devices until you find your LG Smart TV. Highlight the LG Smart TV by selecting it with the arrow keys.
Next, look for an option that represents deactivation or unlinking. It may be labeled as ‘Deactivate,’ ‘Unlink,’ or ‘Remove Device.’
Once you have found the ‘Deactivate Device’ option, press the ‘OK’ button on your remote control to select it. This will prompt a confirmation message to ensure that you want to proceed with deactivating your Netflix account on the LG Smart TV.
Read the confirmation message carefully to ensure that you understand the consequences of deactivating your Netflix account. Keep in mind that deactivating your account on the LG Smart TV will not cancel your Netflix subscription and that you will still be able to use your account on other devices.
If you are sure that you want to proceed with deactivating your Netflix account on the LG Smart TV, confirm your decision by selecting ‘Yes,’ ‘Confirm,’ or a similar option. This will initiate the deactivation process.
The time it takes to complete the deactivation process may vary, but typically it is immediate. Once the deactivation is successful, you will be ready to move on to the next step of removing your Netflix account from the LG Smart TV.
Step 4: Confirm the deactivation of your Netflix account
After selecting the ‘Deactivate Device’ option in the previous step, you will need to confirm the deactivation of your Netflix account on your LG Smart TV. This confirmation step ensures that you are aware of the consequences and are intentionally removing your account from the device.
Once you have selected the ‘Deactivate Device’ option, a confirmation message will appear on your LG Smart TV screen. This message will typically ask if you want to proceed with deactivating your Netflix account from the device.
Read the confirmation message carefully to ensure that you understand the implications of confirming the deactivation. It is important to note that this action will only unlink your Netflix account from the LG Smart TV and will not cancel your Netflix subscription.
If you still wish to proceed with the deactivation, press the appropriate button on your remote control to confirm. This may be labeled as ‘Yes,’ ‘Confirm,’ or a similar option.
Once you have confirmed the deactivation, the process will initiate, and your Netflix account will be disconnected from your LG Smart TV. This may take a few seconds to complete.
After the deactivation process is finished, you will be redirected back to the account settings or device management section of the Netflix app on your LG Smart TV. At this point, you have successfully confirmed the removal of your Netflix account.
Keep in mind that your Netflix account will still be active and accessible on other devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. The deactivation only applies to your LG Smart TV.
Now that you have successfully confirmed the deactivation of your Netflix account, it’s time to proceed to the next step.
Step 5: Restart the LG Smart TV after deactivating Netflix
After successfully deactivating your Netflix account on your LG Smart TV, it is recommended to restart the TV to ensure that the changes take effect. Restarting the TV will refresh the system and clear any temporary data associated with the Netflix app.
To restart your LG Smart TV, you can follow one of two methods:
- Using the remote control: Press the ‘Power’ button on your remote control to turn off the TV. Once the TV is powered off, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Wait for at least 10-15 seconds before plugging the power cord back in. Finally, press the ‘Power’ button again to turn on the TV.
- Using the TV’s menu: Press the ‘Home’ button on your remote control to access the TV’s home screen. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ menu using the arrow keys, and then select ‘General’ or ‘System Settings,’ depending on your TV model. Within the settings menu, look for an option to restart or reboot the TV. Select this option, and the TV will automatically restart.
Once the TV has restarted, wait for it to fully boot up and reach the home screen. This may take a few moments. It is important to allow the TV enough time to complete the reboot process.
After the restart, navigate back to the Netflix app on your LG Smart TV. Open the app and check if your Netflix account is still inactive. If the deactivation process was successful, you should no longer be signed in to your Netflix account on the LG Smart TV.
If you can no longer access or sign in to your Netflix account on the LG Smart TV, it means that the removal process was successful and your account has been disconnected from the device.
With the LG Smart TV restarted, you have completed step five of removing your Netflix account. Now, let’s move on to the final step.
Step 6: Verify the removal of your Netflix account from the LG Smart TV
After going through the previous steps to remove your Netflix account from your LG Smart TV, it’s important to verify that the removal process was successful. This step ensures that your Netflix account is no longer linked to your LG Smart TV and that you can no longer access Netflix content on the device.

- If the removal process was successful, you will receive an error message stating that the sign-in credentials are incorrect or that the account is no longer active on the device.
