Once you install and open Kodi for the very first time, you’ll see a blank canvas (so to say). This home theater software comes without any 'sample' content, and it simply shows the available content categories via its main menu. Yes, we’re talking about the left-positioned menu with items such as TV, Radio, Games, Add-ons, Pictures, Videos, and more. However, just like with anything related to Kodi, even this menu can be customized. Also, some users might accidentally delete any of these menu items – thinking that they’ve deleted their content as well (which is hardly the case). Don’t worry, we’re here to explain everything you need to know about restoring deleted menu items on Kodi.
