YouTube needs to go

Hi. I haven’t ever posted before so I’m not even sure if this is the right section to post in. I have a Samsung smart tv which has YouTube installed. It says I can’t delete it as it is a basic app. I know how to lock it but I would really like to completely get rid of it, as the whole time my 6 yo can see the icon that’s all he wants to watch. He is in the process of being diagnosed for ASD and I find YouTube affects him badly. All he wants to do is watch others playing computer games and very often watches the same thing repeatedly, even if it is scaring him. If anyone knows a way of hiding or deleting YouTube I would love to know. Thank you.

Good luck. You are doing the right thing. Weve banned our 8 year old from YouTube and roblox and no regrets at all. Hes much better without it all.
