Sign out of Netflix using the account menu
To sign out of Netflix on a Samsung TV, open the Netflix app and navigate to the menu in the top-left or top-right corner of the screen—the exact location depends on your Samsung model and Netflix app version. Select your profile icon or the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu), then scroll down until you see "Sign out" or "Log out". Highlight it and press the select button on your remote.
The app will ask you to confirm that you want to sign out. Select "Yes" or "Confirm" to complete the process. Netflix will return to the login screen, and your account will no longer be active on that TV.
If you cannot find a sign-out option in the menu, your Samsung TV may be running an older version of the Netflix app. In that case, move to the next section for an alternative method.

Uninstall and reinstall Netflix if sign-out is not available
Some older Samsung TV models or outdated Netflix app versions do not include a visible sign-out option. In these cases, uninstalling the app is the most direct way to remove your account from the TV.
Go to your Samsung TV's home screen and find the Netflix app in your apps list. Press and hold the Netflix icon with your remote until a menu appears. Select "Uninstall" or "Remove". Confirm the action when prompted. The app will be deleted from your TV.
Once Netflix is uninstalled, go to the Samsung App Store (or your TV's app marketplace) and search for Netflix. read and install the app fresh. When you open it, you will see the login screen, and your previous account information will not be stored on the TV.
Clear app data through your Samsung TV settings
If you want to keep the Netflix app installed but remove your login information, you can clear the app's cached data through your TV's settings menu. This method works on most Samsung models from 2016 onward.
On your Samsung TV remote, press the Home button to go to the home screen. Navigate to Settings (usually a gear icon), then select Apps or Applications. Find Netflix in the list and select it. Choose "Clear Cache" or "Clear Data". Your login information will be erased, but the app itself will remain on your TV.
Open Netflix again after clearing the data. You will see the login screen, and the TV will no longer remember your account. This method is useful if you share your TV with others and want to prevent them from accessing your account without fully removing the app.
What happens after you sign out
Once you sign out of Netflix on your Samsung TV, your account is no longer active on that device. The next person to use the TV will need to enter their own Netflix login credentials to watch anything. Your viewing history, saved shows, and preferences will not appear on that TV until someone logs back in with your account.
Your Netflix account itself remains active and unchanged. You can still watch Netflix on your phone, tablet, computer, or any other device where you are logged in. Signing out of one device does not affect your account on others.
Troubleshooting if you cannot find the sign-out button
If you have looked through the Netflix menu and cannot locate a sign-out option, check whether your Samsung TV's Netflix app is up to date. Go to the Samsung App Store, search for Netflix, and see if an "Update" button appears. If it does, select it to install the latest version of the app, which should include the sign-out feature.
If no update is available and the sign-out button still does not appear, your TV model may be too old to support the current Netflix app. In this case, uninstalling and reinstalling the app (as described above) is your best option. Alternatively, you can clear the app data through settings, which will remove your login information even if the sign-out button is not visible.
Sign out remotely from your Netflix account page
You can also sign out of Netflix on your Samsung TV from any web browser without touching the TV itself. Go to netflix.com on a computer or phone, log in to your account, and navigate to Account Settings.

This method is useful if you no longer have access to the TV's remote or if the TV is not responding. Netflix will when ready end the session on your Samsung TV, and the next time someone tries to use Netflix on that TV, they will need to log in again.
