Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having full control over your hardware is something I feel is important so I'm not a fan of preinstalled bloatware apps disabling this uninstall feature of Android.
Thankfully, with root access we can do just about anything we want with our smartphones and that's what this SD Maid application can do for us.
Once opened, you'll need to tell the app to list these system apps first. Then go ahead and tell the app to refresh its app list so you can see everything you have installed.
WARNING
Be careful with what you uninstall using this application. Some apps may seem innocent and useless but are actually required by other important services that Android uses.
When ready, tap the system app you want to uninstall and then tap the "Delete" button on the options page. You'll get a confirmation box to see if you're sure this is what you want to do.
After confirming the task, be sure to check the storage being used by the app again. You should see that number shrink down to 0 bytes in size.

If you have noticed apps reappearing when trying to remove them with SD Maid, that's probably because your phone supports the dynamic partition feature, and you'll need to follow this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
It's so funny, exactly what you do in this video is what I always did when I installed Sd maid. Just gotta be careful, like you said. Gotta make sure you dont remove something that will break the os. Thanks bro.
Finally.... A good one that worked!! Thank you!!!
I appreciate you taking the time to explain this. My phone was hacked via a remote access program that was gained via one of these manufacturer installed apps. Every ave I take seems to put me in a circle for a simple thing as uninstalling an app. I tried via sd-maid but like u said, it comes right back due to updates not completed. So here I am w this de-bloater. A lot of the terms you mention are foreign language so can u help me understand what you mean by "root"? (I have a chromebook w ping prompts). The app does say no root and I did install a random magisk app from the play store. Ive spent hrs this weekend and hoping to find that one link to just delete this stupid remote access app before I go 1994 and eliminate the internet...
Hi, I am trying to find out how to delete the system app youtube on my phone without root access.. I'm not too sure which link you said you put in the description to do this? Thank you for your help
Like anyone could ever be more clear. Great tutorial!!

@@ExplainingAndroidBack at you👍🏽
@@ExplainingAndroidwe can finally uninstall system apps now with Shizuku with the Inure app
Thanks I managed to learn so much more about the app because of you@
So helpful, thanks so much for the video.
I subscribed. Thank you so much
Man I have a rooted phone Samsung and I have SD maid pro cuz I bought the app 4 years ago, I didn't know it has this feature, thanks man
I used it as advised in your tutorial and deleted system apps such as Font and LG switch
But they all came back!
How did that happen
bro your theme looks amazing, could you make a tutorial?
Samsung S7 Active, running android 8.0.0 will not delete apps. What would you recommend?
Super useful ..! Thanks 👍
happy to help :) you're quite welcome, Erik
thanks so much for the video very helpful
Can you plz tell me a way to delete apps permanently so that they don't reappear on factory reset?
Thanks so much!
Can I do this on my Samsung Galaxy S8?
thank you so much, it actually working (root user)!
that's great to hear! thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. it helps me to know if these videos are still up to date and able to help people

Can you Uninstall samsung dex and reinstall it because it's not connecting to my other devices for some reasons
My car androi head unit has sygic app old version installed, I couldn’t update it. I couldn’t delete it because it’s system app. I tried to change the package name of new version but faced problem app stops working . Any solution?
Tim Cook, is that you?
Thanks, a lot
I deleted Tips, which is a samsung system app but the shortcut icon is still in the apps menu.
Hi, completely unrelated to the video, but do you remember what icon pack were you using? looks cool
all good :) the icon pack is called Type 4 - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.type4.iconpack
@@ExplainingAndroid thank you. Much appreciated
@@MrDaves95 anytime :)
Thank you for posting this video. Sadly for me the app will not run. It keeps quitting before it starts. I have an assurance wireless U693CL phone running Android 9. I wanted to remove an unwanted app called "news" which pesters me all day.
I changed my browser because the "news" app constantly spammed me with articles. Changing the browser helped but the news app still pops up articles several times throughout the day and night.
are you rooted?
@@ExplainingAndroid I hoped the app would root access the phone for me.
@@kaduisaui4596 sorry, that isn't the case. you need to have root access with Magisk before you can use this video
@@ExplainingAndroid thank for that clarification. I will try again.
Sir pls helf me my 65 data delete in sd maid how to recover history data pls🙏
so i have to install another app to remove the apps?
thanks! I needed this to delete some spyware bs on my phone that I bought from wish, appearntly once I installed stuff like Whatsapp the dude who made this brandless phone was controlling all I do including my messages. And now I am gonna shut all of his pre installed "system applications" just to get my revenge
what type of phone did you get off of wish? that seems crazy to know there is malware on phones like that
I think these system spy app are on my phone. I deleted them but they all came back!
What can I do
@@jesled5312 you likely have a newer phone with the 'dynamic' system partition. look for the 'de-bloater' video I did here on the channel. it's in the root playlist if you have trouble finding it
that program will properly uninstall system apps for you when this app fails to do so
Thanks for the video but I only have the option to disable these kinds of apps, there's no option to uninstall. How can I remove it completely?
jst listen to what he is saying you will get your answer, please listen and listen really good
Great video, so, as long as you have a replacement for the deleted app it's fine to delete any app? I'm using lineage os and I really want to get rid of the default camera, I already have Google camera as a replacement.
yes! as soon as the default LOS camera app is disabled/uninstalled you should make sure a replacement is ready. you can then test it by double pressing on the Power button twice (to launch the camera) and it will ask you which camera you want to launch with this shortcut. choosing the google camera replacement will then assign it as your stock camera app for the phone
As far as I can see this application does not work anymore 2 years later. I tried to uninstall some basic apps like whether one used to be downloadable by choice but then two years ago they forced it onto my phone it don't work right at crashes so it was a test experiment to try that one first period and it just keeps saying that it was unsuccessful at uninstalling it it don't matter what I do it's unsuccessful.
How about a list of bloat ware apps to consider uninstalling?
I second this! :)
Will this work with devices having A/B or Super or Dynamic partitions?
no, you need to look at a newer video I did for that. it highlights an app called de-bloater and you can find it here on my channel. it was uploaded within the last couple of weeks.
that app will help you delete bloatware on these newer dynamic partition devices
can use this on old version of phones like 2016 something to delete some default apps ? like Game centre thing
yes, this method will actually only work on older Android devices. if you notice that it doesn't work then your phone is likely "newer" than this method requires. for those, I have this video that should help - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
You don't need root on latest if yoj are using latest shizuku version SD maid se can use shizuku it also provide better cleaning and can even clean Dalvik and Cache without root
@@LgdFanta that's great to hear about! thanks for letting us all know
So where are the links for how to delete these apps without root access??
No way
I don't seem to have root access because I get uninstall-failed can you post a video that shows me how without root access or how to get root access
search my channel for "adb bloatware" (without the quotes) and that should pull up some videos for you to use that will work without root access (and they should work even if your phone doesn't match what is listed in the title)
Theme name ??
I use this application this application not work👎
Vedio for root enabling
Hi
If I factory reset my phone will the deleted apps come back ?
Yeah
Just A Question ⁉️
Lets Say If I Root My Galaxy Note 10 & Rooting Will Trip Knox !! Right ??
If I Flash Stock Firmware Again Via Odin On My Galaxy Note 10 - Would That Bring Knox Back !!????
If Knox Not Back What Features Or Apps Will I Miss Having Knox Tripped Device ??
Can I Still Receive Ota Updates Etc..
if you unlock the bootloader in order to root/install custom firmware, you will trip KNOX which can not be changed back to previous state so you'll lose warranty if you had any.
after tripping KNOX, you WON'T BE ABLE TO: make purchases on galaxy store, use samsung pass EVEN IF YOU HIDE ROOT WITH MAGISK HIDE because it checks KNOX instead of ROOT STATE.
however, secured folder and other samsung applications like samsung notes, samsung cloud will be available to use without any problems. BUT you'll have to install firmware updates MANUALLY
It doesn't work, there's a notification came in notification panel says uninstalling (app name) unsuccessful
you may have a more modern version of Android that requires you to use this root app with Magisk for it to work - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
@@ExplainingAndroid thank you, now it works ♡
Why does it say that an app was unsuccessful uninstalled using OnePlus nord ?
Hi bbb, I may be able to help but I'll need for you to share more information (device name/model/firmware) to the Android Support thread I have set up for channel members here - ua-cam.com/channels/nowc_KHgjVNj3Y-E-oQ8aw.htmljoin
Yeah, mine does the same thing... won't uninstall any of the system apps. Never got the popup that says to "allow permissions" at all! ( btw I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.4 2014 edition)
Will it remove it completely
Even after resetting will it come back
no, a factory data reset will make it come back
I removed it in the app but it doesn’t remove it from my phone? HELP?
does this video help - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
Its says successful but it keeps coming back
I see this with certain system apps, too (the ones the OEM ROM forces back)
I tried to delete Phone and google map system app. It says deleted but actually it doesn't.
check the pinned comment to this video to know why this happens. and then look into the method I show in this video - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
@@ExplainingAndroid thanks mate, will check the new method
I'm on android 11, rooted Surface Duo, trying to delete Google Chrome and Photos, keeps reappearing 😭, I don't want to disable, I want to delete. Anybody know how because nothing is working.
on newer devices (with the dynamic partition feature), you'll want to follow this tutorial instead - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
@@ExplainingAndroid Yes I followed the video about using the de-bloater app and it did indeed work! TY!
nice
Thanks
Does unrooting cause bloatware apps to reinstall
No
i keep getting unsuccessfully uninstalled
did not work
Can I Uninstall UA-cam With This?
you can if your phone supports it. some newer phones need to use an updated method (I have a video demonstrating that on my channel as well)
Anyone using 3C All-in-One Toolbox?
i fucked up and uninstalled something i shouldn't have by mistake, I'm now stuck in a bootloop
RIP my 2 years of DATA , 90GB of storage
so many memories haha,my fault tho so it is what it is..
IT DOESN'T WORK!
maybe you have a phone with dynamic partitions and need to use this tool instead - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
Doesn't work
this method is for older versions of Android. try this updated method - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
Links?
link to SD Maid has been added to the video descrption
@@ExplainingAndroid hek yeah! Thank you! 👍
@@bernicegoldham1509 i love the Maggot Brain avatar, p-funk is awesome
It's no longer free
Incredible but this does not work, not even adb
check the pinned comment, if this doesn't work for you then it's because your version of Android is too new. follow this video instead - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
@@ExplainingAndroid yes, I did exactly that. It worked. Thank you very much!!
It doesn't uninstall any apps. It just deactivate them
with root access, SD Maid should fully delete those APK files
@@ExplainingAndroid
Apk's can be uninstalled without root acces also. I want system apps to be uninstalled.
@@lari_shoes_tik_tok7499 that's what this video is about. preinstalled apps = system apps
@@ExplainingAndroid
😑
@@ExplainingAndroid we dont have it .
Dont uninstall!
Uninstalling unsuccessful
J2 Samsung by Metro. I try delete App Store by Metro.
try this one, instead - ua-cam.com/video/3rzu9-8puGI/v-deo.html
it requires root as well
Fake it's not working
Unsuccessful
Root access is risking the whole device
I disagree
@@ExplainingAndroid free to do so
