Warning: Be careful before uninstalling any system app or service. You must ensure that the package is not used by system to function. Uninstalling a critical system app may result in bricking your phone. So always double check before uninstalling any system app.
How to Uninstall/Remove Bloatware from Carrier, OEM, Apps with or without Root
Root Method 1:
If you have root access on you Android device; meaning if your Android phone is rooted with latest Magisk or SuperSU, then you can download and install a System App Remover (Root) app such as the following.
[appbox googleplay com.jumobile.manager.systemapp]
Simply launch the app, grant root permission using your root manager app, it will list the apps and uninstall the app or package you would like.
Alternatively, you can also use a root Package Disabler or Service Disabler app from Play Store and remove any app of your choice.
Non-Root Method 2:
You can also uninstall or remove any app using ADB debugging. Generally, apps come in the form of packages. Apps that are deeply embedded into the system cannot be removed or uninstalled. All you can do is disable them. So they still take up storage space.
Best way is to remove the packages using ADB Shell. See the safe to remove list from above and then you can choose any package to uninstall.
While uninstalling any app, if the terminal throws an error Not Installed For User 0, that means the package isn’t on your phone.
