You’ve probably used your Sky TV for years without ever knowing the secret “0 0 1” code. 1 There’s a trick you should know Credit: TikTok / @wadesramsey / Sky It’s a quick trick to delete all your recordings in one go. One of the best features of Sky Q is the ability to save content. But if you’ve downloaded too many, it can become unwieldy – and clog up your storage space. Now TikTok’s @wadesramsey has unleashed some very clever TV knowledge. First, press the Home button on your Sky Q remote. Then scroll down to Settings but don’t click on it. Then press “0 0 1” on your remote and then select (this is the middle button). Now go down to Reset and then Reset Hard Drive. It will completely delete all your Sky Q apps and subscriptions. It is possible to restore your Buy & Keep purchases at Sky.com/restore. You should only do this if you want to wipe your machine and start over. For some people, it could cause more headaches.
Other choise
Of course, this is not the only way to quickly delete content. You can wipe the entire series at once using another Sky TV trick. To delete episodes individually, press the Sky button at the top of your Sky remote to access your recordings. Scroll to the record you want to remove and select it. Then scroll and select delete. To delete all recordings of a TV show, scroll down to Sort by, then select AZ. Scroll down to the TV show you want to remove and swipe right. Select Delete All and then Confirm.
One more tip…
Every Sky Q touch remote has a built-in tracking mechanism. It means you’ll never lose it again…unless you’ve accidentally left it miles from home. But if you’ve dropped it on the back of the sofa or accidentally put it in the kitchen bin, you’ll be able to uncover it. The remote control has a built-in speaker that can sound if you lose it. First make sure your home is quiet so you can hear the beeper. Then press the Q button on the front of the Sky Q box. After a few seconds, the paired Sky Q Touch / Sky Q with Voice Control remote will beep. This beep will only last for 30 seconds, so if you don’t find it in that time, you’ll need to restart the process. If it doesn’t work at all, it’s possible that the Sky Q remote’s battery is dead. It is also possible that the Sky Q remote is no longer in the building and cannot be accessed by the Sky Q box.
