Roku Error Code 007 — What It Means & How to Fix It

What Does This Error Mean?

Roku error 007 means your device is running low on memory. It cannot load apps or content properly because storage is almost full. Clearing unused channels and restarting your Roku usually solves this quickly.

Affected Models

Roku Express
Roku Express 4K
Roku Streaming Stick
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
Roku Ultra

Common Causes

Too many channels are installed and taking up available memory
An app is running in the background and not releasing memory
The Roku device has been running for a long time without a restart
A recently installed channel is poorly optimized and using excessive memory
The device's internal storage is nearly full from cached data

How to Fix It

Restart your Roku immediately. Go to Settings > System > System Restart. This clears temporary memory and gives the device a fresh start.

A restart alone fixes error 007 in most cases — it is the fastest first step.
Remove channels you no longer use. Highlight any channel on the home screen, press the star (*) button, and choose Remove Channel.

Each removed channel frees up both storage and memory.
Clear the cache of individual channels. Highlight a channel, press the star (*) button, and select Clear Cache if that option appears.

Not all channels show this option — it depends on the app.
Check how much storage you have left. Go to Settings > System > About and look at the storage information shown there.

If storage is below 10%, you need to remove more channels or cached data.
Perform a factory reset as a last resort. Go to Settings > System > Advanced System Settings > Factory Reset. This wipes everything and starts fresh.

You will need to sign back in and reinstall your channels after a factory reset.

When to Call a Professional

If error 007 keeps coming back after you have cleared channels and restarted your Roku, the device may be aging. Older Roku models have limited memory that degrades over time. Contact Roku support to see if your device qualifies for a replacement or discount upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Roku is low on memory?

Error 007 is the main sign. You may also notice apps loading slowly, crashing unexpectedly, or the home screen taking longer than usual to appear. These are all signs that memory is running low.

Will removing channels delete my account or subscriptions?

No. Removing a channel from your Roku does not cancel your subscription. Your account and billing stay active through the app provider. You can reinstall any channel later without losing your login details.

Can I add more memory to my Roku?

No — Roku devices do not have expandable memory slots. The only options are to remove content to free up space, or upgrade to a newer Roku model with more built-in storage.
