Delete a skill in the Alexa app

Open the Alexa app and go to Skills & Games.

Find the game skill you want to remove and tap Disable.

The skill will stop responding to voice commands once disabled.

Remove skills you no longer use

Keeping your library tidy helps Alexa recognize the games you still play.

Disable skills that feel slow or confusing so they don’t interfere with voice commands.

Keep a short list of favorites so game start commands stay clear.

Troubleshooting removal issues

If a skill keeps launching, make sure it is fully disabled in the app.

Restart the device if Alexa continues to call the skill by name.

You can also re-enable and disable again to clear cache issues.

Start fresh with better picks

After removing unused skills, try a game that starts fast and feels reliable.

Short rounds make it easy to test whether a game is a good fit.

Check the skill description for the official invocation phrase.
