There are only three ways. All of them are equally popular, simple and easy to implement.

Removing android applications through Settings

Removal by pinching

You have probably noticed that the icons of any applications can be dragged if you hold your finger on them for a while.

So, you can also remove them in the same way. Go to the menu where all applications are located or right on the desktop, hold your finger on the game or program that you want to uninstall.

Perhaps this is really the most difficult way. The fact is that most manufacturers block the ability to remove programs and games built into the shell. In this case, it will not be possible to do without obtaining -rights.

And you are lucky if you have a Chinese brand device. In these, they are often already built-in and they only need to be activated by going to the companion application. Each gadget has its own, so see the instructions specifically for your device.

If you are sure that Administrator rights are activated, download Root program App Delete. It acts like the Uninstaller app and has a similar interface, so the instructions for them are the same. Only you will have to choose not the downloaded game, but the standard application. Therefore, be extremely careful not to uninstall anything superfluous.

If there are no Superuser (Root) rights, you will have to reflash the device to obtain them. Here already get off with two spent minutes will not work. Think carefully, is it worth it to reflash the gadget because of some applications?

operating room android system appeared for a long time and is well known to a wide range of users. However, the statistics of search queries tells us that even simple questions of Android operation still cause difficulties for some users. It is to them that we address this article, in which we will talk about how to remove unnecessary applications from your smartphone or tablet. When it comes to regular applications, this is not at all difficult to do, but if you need to remove system programs, you will need some tricks.

How to uninstall third-party programs

There are several ways to remove programs installed by you or received with the device, but not being system programs. The first of these is to use the default Settings app.

1. Go to the settings of your gadget and open the "Applications" section.

2. Swipe left or right to move to the Third Party tab.

3. Find desired application and tap on the name to open its properties.

4. Erase all program data by clicking on the "Erase data" button so that no debris remains after deletion.

5. Click on the "Remove" button and wait until a message appears on the correct removal of the program.

The second way to remove unnecessary programs uses standard Play app Market.

1. Open the Play Store app.

2. Pull out from the left side of the menu screen. Click on the "My Apps" button.

3. Find the name of the program you are interested in on the "Installed" tab. Tap on its icon.

4. On the program properties page that opens, you will see the "Delete" button, after touching which the application you have selected will be uninstalled.

However, there is also a large number of third-party utilities that provide additional functionality. They can uninstall applications in batch mode, make backup copies of programs and user data, can temporarily “freeze” processes, and much more.

How to uninstall Android system apps

All smartphones and android tablets fall into our hands with a number of pre-installed standard programs. There are among them vital and irreplaceable utilities, which in no case should be touched, but there are also not too useful programs, which most users want to get rid of.

If you do not have superuser rights, then you will have to limit yourself to disabling extra programs. To do this, open the device settings, go to the "Applications" section and swipe to the "All" tab.

Here you will see a list of all programs installed on your gadget, including system ones. Find the desired element and in its properties you will see the "Disable" button. If this button is active, then you can disable this application without any consequences. Thus, not all programs can be deactivated, so you have to resort to the following method, which requires root .

If you have superuser rights, then you can get rid of system applications simply by deleting the corresponding .apk file in the /system/app directory. To do this, you will need any file manager that has access to this folder, for example

Manufacturers of smartphones and tablets - Samsung (Samsung), Sony Xperia (Sony), etc. - installed and continue to install in their versions of android 6.0, 5, 4.4, 4.4 2, and even 2.3 6 many unnecessary applications directly at the factory - they are integrated into the system as standard.

Often these installed applications superfluous, and their presence in the system would not be superfluous if they did not work in the background, that is, they did not use part of the RAM, which affects the efficiency of the device.

Removing such "junk" applications requires access to the root of the system - superuser rights, then there will be access to all necessary directories and files.

Only android by default uses an account with fewer options, as a result, system damage is very unlikely.

An ordinary user can delete self-installed files, but those that belong to the system are system ones, in the usual way it will not work on any of the existing versions of android: 7.0 Nougat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 5.1 Lollipop, 5.0 Lollipop, 4.4W KitKat, 4.4, 4.3 Jelly Bean , 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.1, 4.0, 4.0.3, 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich 3.2 Honeycomb 3.1 3.0 2.3 2.3.3 2.3.4 Gingerbread 2.0.1, 2.0, 1.6 Donut, 1.5 Cupcake, 1.1 Banana Bread, 1.0 Apple Pie.

In general, buying a smartphone or tablet is almost the same as buying a new computer - you need to clean the system of standard applications pre-installed by the supplier, the usefulness of which is doubtful.
