But noticed the Philips Hue App is still consuming memory. I have tried a reboot but… Any ideas of how to really uninstall the Athom Philips Hue App? ---

What does the “last hour” chart show? Also, does the app appear in the memory statistics list in the mobile app? ---

Last value reported??? try removing the Graph data, also cleans up space in the Insights Database 😉 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/5/e5d6a74038fc429bd7d75f827d5d1120a69b9efe.png) ---

What is the Insights tracking then ? Very odd ---

Indeed strange. Perhaps time to ask Athom about it. ---

Tried to delete the insight log through the web api? > [@Remove app](https://community.homey.app/t/remove-app/70032/6): > > I had a test-app installed once, uninstalled it, but the insights logs still persisted. To delete the logs: Go to the developer tools web api playground: [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/api-playground) Run the command Homey.insights.getLogs(); and find the id. Run Homey.insights.deleteLog({uri: "homey:manager:apps", id: "com.weather-sensors-cpuusage"}); This example command would clear this one: [image] ---

Gulp No !!! 🙂 I have no idea why I did not think of that!!! Thanks I’ll give it a go - most devices/apps are all moved off Homey now as they where overloading it. So reducing its workload so it can focus on the things I have not found any other way of doing it. MQTT Client is my friend here 🙂
