Hi, I have installed the node-red-contrib-samsung-tv-control node and some functions always restarted my Docker container. So I deleted all items of the node, but I cant uninstall the node.

Thanks

Open up the search dialog and search for `samsung`.

You may still have a config node hiding. You can also open the Configuration Nodes sidebar and look for it there.

You must delete the nodes from the flows before removing them with Manage palette.
