Begin with favourites and category filters instead of deleting source entries. Keep a small everyday list and preserve full channel names when regional editions look similar. If the app supports sorting or hiding, distinguish those actions from deleting a playlist before making broad changes.

Sorting changes order rather than account access. Hidden groups can make a category look empty. A manageable favourites list is easier to use than copying every group into another large folder.
Work through the steps
- Add a small selection of regular channels to favourites.
- Keep regional editions identifiable in saved names.
- Check supported backups before a reset or device move.
