Actual removal of black bars which are muxed into videos, can be removed using a PC with the tool ffmpeg . It does depend on which video graphics card you have.
If you also have the tool ffplay , you can test your crop paramaters to slim down the video.
Example for viewing a FullHD video with black bar at the top and bottom.
If you are watching videos with some RPi or Android box, then you could try the "zoom" option, but that will always lead to a video display of which part of the video is cut off.

It depends a bit on the type of black bars, and how large they are. If you have 16:9 videos that have black bars top & bottom, it depends on how much actual video is shown.
The video aspect ratio default these days is 16:9. used in 1920x1080 or 3840x2160.
Netflix has TV series that go 18:9, so with small black bars.
Movies can use the 21:9 aspect ratio, as in 1920x800 or 2560x1080 for example.
The problem is that you cannot fully hide black bars without cutting off some of the video image. Just like you cannot fit a square block in a circle opening. If you have a 16:9 TV, a 21:9 video is quite difficult to fit. On the other hand, a 21:9 monitor/tv will have black bars left & right when displaying a 16:9 video.
Do you see the problem?

You could have a look at Handbrake. A video tool which should also support cropping.

Do you use an RPi4? If yes, use the HDMI port closest to the USB-Type-C connector (power supply).
Do you have no sound since converting your videos to black-bar-free? If yes, check the audio options of your converter tool.
