Removing bloatware or unwanted apps on your android device
Bloatwares can be really annoying especially when they fill up your space and you don't have the option to uninstall them, but worry not we got you covered, just follow the easy steps below and you'll know how to get rid of them.
Requirements:
- A Laptop
- Adb Platform Tools (Download)
- Package Name Viewer App (Download) or you can download from Playstore
- Drivers for Your Device (Download)
- You're good to go
After downloading the platform tools, extract the zip to a folder of your choice.
Step 2
Install the needed drivers for your device.
Step 3
Run cmd as administrator and change folder to the folder you extracted your platform tools as i did below.
Step 4
on your device activate developer options by going to settings>system>about phone>tap the build number until you see you're now a developer
Step 5
depending on your device go on to your settings app>advanced setting>developer options and select usb debugging.
Step 6
with your command prompt open, connect your device to your laptop and you'll have a prompt on your phone to allow your computer connect to your phone, tap always and allow and the prompt will go off.
Step 7
on your command prompt line type in "adb devices" to check if your device is connected
Step 8
on the Package Name Viewer App, search the name of the bloat application you want to delete.(in my case ill be using the bloat music app on my devices) as you can see in the picture below.
Step 9
NOTE: where i had "com.android.music" that's where you'll put in the particular service of the bloatware you want to remove.

now head back to your phone menu and check if the app is still there, and there you go!! its not there again.
