How to Uninstall Exodus, TVAddons, Addons, Sources, Repos

Let us show you how to manually uninstall Exodus, Fusion, TVAddons or any other source, repo, or addon.

We have been getting requests on Twitter and Facebook about how to properly uninstall Exodus, TVAddons, Fusion, and a whole bunch of other buzzwords and keywords. These break down into three different requests: uninstalling addons, repos, and sources.

• Addons = Known by name you read about online, you may want to uninstall Exodus, SALTs, Velocity, or a number of unsupported or outdated addons.
• Repos = Also known as repositories, these are the overall folders that house multiple add-ons. TVAddons.ag, BlazeTamer, and the Exodus Repository are examples of ones no longer supported.
• Sources = These are the URL addresses you add in your File Manager to access and install Repos. Fusion or TVAddons is the most popular former source you may want to remove.

 

Why should you remove old addons, repos, or sources? There are a number of reasons:

• Kodi frequently checks these addresses for new updates. If you have old sources, repos, or addons, Kodi spends a lot of time looking for nothing.
• A source, repo, or addon may have changed locations so you’ll want to delete the old source before adding the new one.
• Obsolete and forgotten addons can be spoofed by others. You’ll receive a “new update” that isn’t done by the developer and you’ll have no control over it’s actions, intent, or purpose.

 

For example, the developers of Exodus and SALTs no longer maintain these addons. While Exodus’ developers have gone on to support and work on Covenant, other people may make code changes to the Exodus addon and release updates without permission from the original developer. Stay in control of your Kodi setup by deleting old and obsolete addons via our guides below:

How to Uninstall Kodi Sources

2. Highlight the Kodi source you want to uninstall and press the menu button on your remote (‘c’ on a keyboard).
3. Select Remove Source
4. Yes when it prompts you if you are sure.
5. NOTE: You can also click Edit Source and enter in the new source name here rather than deleting it and adding a new one right after.
