If you constantly install programs on the tablet and do not uninstall them, then after a while you will simply run out of physical memory on the tablet and in fact nothing will be able to install. A large number of applications lead to the slowdown of the device. Therefore, now I will tell and show you how to remove the program from the tablet.
Select the unnecessary application and click the "Stop" button.
The system will warn us that the forced closing of the application may affect its performance. We agree, we press "ok".
Now you need to erase the data and clear the cache, click on the appropriate buttons and agree with the warning.
In principle, deleting data and cache is not necessary, but then you will have the files created by this application.
How to uninstall a program from a tablet via Play Store
Launch the Play Store application and go to the settings, for this you need to make a swipe on the left side of the screen. We select the item "My applications".
The page of this application will open, where you need to click the "Delete" button.
We confirm the deletion.
We observe the deletion process, which lasts a few seconds. That's all.
Applications for mobile devices based on the Android operating system are in the App format, and are, in essence, software installed directly on the hard drive of a smartphone, even if the installation files themselves are located on the memory card. In this regard, the removal of such programs can present some difficulties, since in order to free up the maximum amount of memory, it is not enough just to delete the shortcut and the installation file, but you also need to clear the cache, delete all data saved by the application. How to permanently remove deleted applications on Android?
How do I uninstall an app from Android?
How to uninstall an application on an Android phone? There are two main ways of how to do this most simply and quickly:
- Use the default application manager of your operating system on your mobile device.
- Download, install and use third-party programs to remove unnecessary applications and all their traces on your mobile device.
The first method is good in that it does not require the involvement of additional third-party programs, which not only reduces the likelihood of a virus entering a mobile device, but is especially important when applications need to be deleted just because of the full memory, and there is simply nowhere to put a new application.
A significant disadvantage of the method is the preservation of residual application data, which also takes up space, and the inability to remove a number of preinstalled developer programs.
As for the second method, its main plus is its simpler use, the ability to delete all traces of the application from the phone's memory. Some even allow you to remove software from the base developer package.
Standard application manager
Let us first consider the simplest technique that does not require the involvement of third-party programs. It is enough to use the available resources of your device. Follow the algorithm:
Step 1. Unlock your mobile device. In the start screen mode, swipe down from the top to open the top main menu. In this menu, in most versions of the operating system, there is a Settings button (an icon with tools or a gear) - tap on it.
Step 2. The settings section of your mobile device will open. Find the Device section in it - it will contain the Applications subsection, on which you need to tap.
Step 3. A complete list of apps on your device will open. Using the tabs or the drop-down list of sections (depending on the firmware version of the device), go to the section that contains the software that you are going to uninstall (All applications, Downloaded, Active, Disabled and others). Tap on the name of the program you no longer need.
Step 4. The application page will open, where you can delete it - for this you need to find the corresponding button. Depending on the version of Android and the shell, it can be located both at the top and at the bottom of the screen - click on it. If the Delete button is not present on the application page, then this software is from the basic pre-installed developer package and cannot be removed (alternatively, you can stop it, which will not allow it to load the processor, but still will not free up memory).
Step 5. After clicking on the appropriate button, a pop-up window will appear in which you need to confirm your decision to remove. After that, the removal procedure will begin, which can take up to several minutes, depending on the volume of the software. After that, you can immediately check the state of the memory, and see that part of it has been freed.
In this way, the installation file of the software, its folder, etc. is deleted, however, the cache is still capable of taking up memory. You can get rid in this way only of the software that you yourself downloaded and installed.
Ccleaner - final cleaning of deleted files
The program is designed for complete and high-quality cleaning of the smartphone from unnecessary programs, their cache and residual files, traces in the operating system. You can download the software by entering its name in the Play Marketa search bar or from the official website. Use the program as follows:
Step 1. Launch from a shortcut on your desktop. The main screen of the software will open, which will display the state of the device's memory and the scanning process, which determines the presence of unnecessary files and programs. Find the button with three parallel horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the screen - click on it.
Step 2. A menu of the main functionality of the software will open. Select the Application Manager section in it, which will open a list of all programs installed on your phone.
Step 3. Pay attention to the tabs at the top of the screen, in which applications are divided into system, installed and disabled. Go to the tab that contains the unnecessary software and click on the button with the trash can in the lower right corner. Then, one by one, select all the applications that you want to remove.
Please note that after installation, this software runs continuously in the background, unless it was forcedly stopped through Settings. Therefore, if you have a weak device or you are going to use resource-intensive programs, then forcibly stop it.
Clean master
You can download this program following the link, and on many phones it is preinstalled. Consider the rules for using the software:
Step 1. Run the software from the shortcut on the device desktop. You will see four icons at the bottom of the start screen. The Applications button is located in the lower right corner - click on it.
Step 2. You will see a list of applications installed on the device. At the top there are two buttons - Delete and Backup (rollback) - tap to delete.
Step 3. Now click on the check marks to the right of the application names, and then on the red Uninstall button. Wait for the uninstallation process to finish.
The main advantage of this software is that it allows you to uninstall many applications at once.
Remove system applications via System App Remover
How to remove unnecessary applications on Android if they were preinstalled by the developer and cannot be removed by standard methods? This requires specialized software that can be downloaded or. Use it like this:
Step 1. Launch from a shortcut on your desktop. You will see that there are two buttons at the bottom of the screen - Common Applications and System. If you need to remove the preinstalled software, click on the System button.
Step 2. A list of system applications installed on your smartphone will open. Find what you no longer need and tap on it - this will start the uninstallation process.
A significant drawback of the application is that for it to work, you must have root rights to the device.
Which applications can be removed
Any software that you downloaded and installed yourself, as well as some programs of the pre-installed developer package (different, depending on the version of the operating system), on which the functioning of the entire system does not depend, is subject to simple removal through the built-in resources of the tablet.
You cannot remove any software that depends on the operation of the device and most of the pre-installed Google applications in this way. And also you cannot remove updates in this way - only a rollback to a system restore point or to factory settings will help here.
By attracting third-party programs, as in the examples above, you can remove any applications, including those from Google. But this should be done carefully - it is important not to clean the utilities in this way, without which your smartphone will not be able to function.
Periodic installation or removal of games and applications on mobile devices is a fairly frequent procedure, which, in principle, can be performed by any user in the slightest degree familiar with the operating system itself.
The fact is that a previously installed game may well get bored, and any utility simply becomes irrelevant, taking up precious space in the device's memory. In addition, the manufacturer often includes standard (or system) applications in the firmware, which, taking up the phone's internal storage and consuming its resources, turn out to be unnecessary for a specific owner of an Android device.
How to remove standard applications from Android, as well as those that the user installed himself, you can read in our material.
Self-installed games can be uninstalled quite easily and effortlessly in two ways.
How to remove apps on Android manually
- We open the Menu.
- We go to " Settings", Press the position" Applications».
- From the list that opens, select what we will get rid of.
- We press the item " Delete».
Note: if the uninstall button is inactive, then a system program has been selected that cannot be uninstalled in the standard way.
Removing installed applications via Google Play Store
This method may be more convenient for users who download programs from the Google Play resource. Your actions:
- Launch Google play market, click on the icon " Play Market»Located at the top of the screen (the image of the bag with an arrow to the right).
- We select the item " My Apps», A list of everything you installed through Google Play will open.
- Among the list, we are looking for the item to be uninstalled, click on it and press the button " Delete».
But it is not so easy to uninstall preinstalled programs or games, because they are sewn into the "body" of the system, which fairly experienced users can get to. But, nevertheless, it is possible to "demolish" an unnecessary service or software. This operation allows you to free up a significant amount of space, which will make working with your device much more comfortable.
How to remove standard applications on Android (Root)
It has already been said above that the previously described methods will not be effective, since they are installed in the Android OS along with the firmware. To remove them, you will need to perform an additional operation - obtaining Superuser rights, or Root. We are talking about the user of the system, endowed with unlimited access rights.
Rooting is not the same for different Android devices. For example, a Chinese manufacturer in most of the manufactured devices initially includes root rights in the factory firmware, thereby making it easier for us to work with the device.
But brands of the first echelon for the most part consider this kind of control over their products optional for ordinary users, so such phones or tablets must be manually unlocked to obtain root access, and root rights must be complete without fail, otherwise, then yes, with partial rights, uninstallation is not possible.
Each gadget has its own programs providing Root (Framaroot, Remover, Root Explorer, etc.). In addition, your smartphone must have an explorer installed that provides access to the file system.
So, to start the process of deleting files, we provide root access to the explorer.
Utility 1
- Install and launch the explorer, then open the menu with a swipe to the right.
- Click the "Tools" item, select the "Root Explorer" value.
- In the window that appears, grant Superuser rights to Explorer.
- In the next window we indicate - "Connect as R / W".
- In the pop-up menu, put all the checkboxes on "RW", confirm the action.
Utility 2
- Select the "Settings" field in the menu.
- We find the item "Root Explorer", put a tick.
- We confirm the request for the Superuser, after which we remove unnecessary applications.
If you have received root rights to your smartphone, then you should know that system applications are stored in Android memory in the / system / app (or / data / app) folder, which is accessed by specialized software. It can be any file manager, for example, Root Explorer. If the program refuses to move / delete files, change the settings by pressing the R / W button (the value changes to R / O).
What not to delete
Important:
Before performing the uninstall procedure, be sure to think about what you will be deleting! Applications that are unfamiliar or insignificant in your opinion may be responsible for the functioning of important and necessary services. For example, unnecessary programs from "Google" can be "demolished" without much hesitation (mail, maps, etc.), but services should never be touched.
If, for example, an accidental deletion of the Wi-Fi service happened, then the complete disappearance of the wireless data transmission may occur. The actual deletion looks quite simple: we find the desired folder, delete the apk-files with the same name as the unnecessary programs, be sure to delete the files of the same name with the odex extension.
To ensure safety, heed the advice of experts who recommend not to delete unnecessary files completely, but to “freeze” or move them to a memory card or to another directory so that you can return them to their place if necessary.
How to remove built-in apps on Android (no Root)
- Following the familiar path: " Menu", then " Settings" and " Applications", We reach the tab" Everything».
- We select what we need, press the value " Force stop».
It should be noted that this method will not be able to "freeze" all selected programs.
Output
I would like to believe that our instructions were understandable and useful for you, and you can easily remove the preinstalled applications that the manufacturer generously crammed into your Android without any problems. Let us remind once again about the necessary caution so that you do not have to completely change the firmware of the operating system due to man-made failures. Good luck!
Smartphone manufacturers can hardly be called minimalists: on the contrary, they try to cram everything they can into the phone. At the same time, all their thoughts are about the possibilities of capitalizing these applications and their own ecosystem, and not about whether the client needs it. But we will help them a little and find out how to remove applications from android that are not deleted.
Why are there so many preinstalled apps on Android
Buyers naturally resist this approach of manufacturers. Even if the amount of memory on the smartphone allows you not to think about freeing up space, the analysis of the processor's work shows that unnecessary applications slow down the operation of the smartphone. You cannot remove these applications using standard methods. This often ends with a forced suspension of the application. How can you finally get rid of unnecessary software?
There is no need to “feel sorry” for these applications and think that the phone will not work without them. The fact that they were installed in advance does not mean that they are necessary for the full functioning of the smartphone. Everything you need for normal operation:
- Priority "telephone" "for calls.
- SMS messages.
- Built-in camera.
- Google Play. Although, with certain skills, you can perfectly do without even an app store.
Everything else you can always download to your phone and not notice the absence, if you have not used it anyway.
The fact is that the cheapness of many smartphones is partly due to the pre-installation of unnecessary applications. Expensive smartphones keep their brand. But they use the wide functionality of their own ecosystems as a publicity stunt and one of the justifications for high cost.
So it is clearly not worth being ashamed to delete what is unnecessary. Modern mobile phones are not so sensitive to the usual actions of the user, and there is nothing irreversible in such actions. If you suddenly need something, the app store is always at your service.
How to remove an unnecessary application on Android
Despite the unity of the Android platform, phones from different manufacturers have different options for quickly removing applications. As a rule, everything is pretty intuitive:
- Until this very urn, you need to hold on to the icon and release it.
- Next, confirm your determination to uninstall applications.
This is the standard logic found in most Android smartphones. Such as Alcatel, Fly, Lenovo, Sony, Xiaomi.
ASUS, LG, Samsung and some other smartphones remove applications using a somewhat complicated logic. Moreover, this can be implemented in different models in different ways. Sometimes you need
- Find in the settings menu with three dots.
- Open the function to uninstall or disable applications. Its name can vary.
- Select an unnecessary application from this menu.
Samsung's flagships also stand out:
- You need to keep your finger on the icon
- Wait for the context menu to appear to the right of it, similar to the one that pops up on the computer when you right-click.
- Find the "delete" function there.
Uninstallable applications on Android
It has already been said above that it is quite difficult to remove some applications and you have to be content with a forced shutdown. Not because a smartphone cannot be without them, otherwise they could not be turned off, but because the removal of search widgets or paid music services upsets marketers at the central offices of manufacturers. Therefore, in order to get rid of the decision made for us and exclude such applications from the firmware, we have to resort to more complex actions.
Let's start with a simple one: in the application settings, you can delete them. If it is not there, then there is the possibility of turning it off, and you need to select it. If, after activating the smartphone, such an application managed to receive an update from Google Play, you will first need to uninstall the updates, returning the application to its original state, and only then it will be possible to disable it.
But some applications want to live inside your smartphone so much that they won't even allow themselves to be turned off. For example, Google keyboard or video player. But that's why we love Android, that if you really want to, you can do anything with it.
So, mysterious for many root-rights. Without them, you don't seem to have the right to fully dispose of your own smartphone. Root gives the user absolute control over their gadget. Its owner can customize menus and labels, screen brightness and speed of the smartphone beyond standard capabilities. He can even bring in parts of the system from other smartphones, rename them. And in general, feel yourself in the role of the driver of a car who has seized upon tuning, which is then simply impossible to recognize. I have already written about that, so we will not dwell on this issue in detail. Who needs a refresher.
Although the manufacturer sells the device, he does not want to lose power over the client. Therefore, the installation of root rights is often associated with the risk of negative sanctions: for example, denial of warranty repairs. True, for example, they cannot refuse to repair the camera. But if the problems are a direct consequence of an unsuccessful firmware setup, then you will have to solve the problem at your own expense. By itself, the firmware does not carry risks, but if a virus leaks along with it. For example, if you answer positively to the seemingly harmless question "Give VKontakte root-rights?", You will have to reflash the system from a PC. This is a disclaimer so you are aware of the potential risks to gaining control over your own smartphone.
How are root rights and uninstallation related? Algorithm of actions
By the way, do not hope to free up space on your smartphone: you will not be able to use this space for your own purposes, because it is jealously designed for system files. But the smartphone will become much easier to "think". Now you know everything about how to remove applications from android that are not deleted.

Android comes preinstalled with many different apps that you may not need at all - they just take up space and use up your device's RAM. Any of them can be removed, and how to do this is described in this manual.
First of all, you need to get root rights on a smartphone or tablet. They make it possible not only to remove standard applications, but also easily launch specialized applications that significantly expand the capabilities of the device.
For each device, the method of obtaining Superuser rights is different, but the most universal utilities are:, and.
Then you need to install a file manager that supports access to system directories and editing system files. For example ES File Explorer, File Manager from Cheetah Mobile or. For this tutorial I will use ES Explorer.
How to uninstall stock apps in Android. Method 1
1. First, you need to grant editing rights to the root directory to the file manager. How to do this for ES Explorer is described in.
2. In the internal memory, go to the folder "/ System / app".
3. Select the .apk file of the required application and click "Delete" in the appeared context menu.
4. In addition, you must delete the .odex file with the same name, if any.
On Android 5.0 and up along the way "/ System / app" all built-in system applications are in separate folders, so you need to select them and erase them.
5. Many system applications in the folder "/ Data / app" updates are stored, from where they will also have to be deleted.
Again in Android 5.0, pre-installed app updates are along the way "/ Data / app" in separate folders. Highlight and delete unnecessary ones.
6. Now it remains only to erase the caches and databases of built-in system applications and services that are in the folder "/ Data / data".
Remove pre-installed apps like Gmail, Google Drive, or Maps. It is better not to touch system applications with the Android icon (for example, CertInstaller.apk or PackageInstaller.apk), as problems may arise in the operation of the system.
Removing Android System Applications Using Root Uninstaller
Standard Android applications can be uninstalled using the Root Uninstaller application. Download the .apk from our website and install.
1. After installation, open it and grant Superuser access.
2. Select the application you want to get rid of.
3. Click Remove. Before deleting, you can make a backup.
In addition to this application, you can not delete, but freeze. This will stop working and disappear from the menu, but will not be completely removed.
How to uninstall standard applications via ES Explorer
Some file managers have a special option for working with program files. Let's consider this function using ES Explorer as an example:
1. In the sidebar under Libraries, select APPs.
2. At the top, click on "Custom", thereby expanding the hidden menu. Select the "System" item in it.
3. Highlight the programs you no longer need. Select "Uninstall" from the list of options.
I think that the methods I have proposed will be enough to remove standard Android applications. Yes, there are analogues of Root Uninstaller and other file managers that have the function of quickly removing built-in applications. But the 3 ways I have described are the most convenient.
