11 11  Samsung phones and Galaxy Tabs come with lots of preinstalled apps many of which are useless to the end-user. Such apps are called bloatware and because they are installed as system apps, the uninstall option for them remains unavailable. Below is a big list of Samsung bloatware that is safe to remove. Since there’s no bloat removal tool available out there, we’ll also see how we can disable and uninstall system apps without root using ADB commands.

66 66  To make your job easier, I have prepared a list of safe to remove apps on your Samsung device. The pre-installed apps listed below are found on the Galaxy S9, S10, S20, and Note 10. Most of them are common Samsung apps found on all Galaxy phones and Tabs by the Korean giant.

69 +**Warning**: Please note that the list of safe-to-remove pre-installed apps mentioned below is complete in itself. Therefore, they also include some essential system apps that must be disabled or uninstalled very carefully. For example, if you delete apps like Samsung One UI launcher or Samsung Keyboard, you must install 3rd-party alternatives to those apps first.

You can now execute  **pm uninstall -k ~-~-user 0**  (this will keep the app data and cache), or **pm uninstall ~-~-user 0**  (delete app data as well) followed by the package name of the system app to uninstall to remove it from your phone. You can view the [[full list of safe to remove Samsung apps along with the command extension>>url:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wuH2k0IafCCjxDnVLgnE26l-hsuYgmGl/view]] on Google Drive. For example, if you want to remove Samsung Email from your device, use one of the the following commands:
257 +{{code language="bash"}}pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.email.provider{{/code}}
258 +or
259 +{{code language="bash"}}pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.email.provider{{/code}}
260 +1. After the execution of each app uninstallation command, you’ll get a “**Success**” message to indicate that the app package has been removed.

266 +**Note**: If you get “**Failure [not installed for 0]**” error while trying to uninstall a Samsung bloatware, it means one of these 2 things:
361 361  
268 +1. The app package you are trying to remove is not available on your device.
269 +1. You have typed the app package name incorrectly.

362 362  === Restore Uninstalled System Apps ===
363 363  
364 -If you notice the bloatware removal command we used above, it contains ‘**user 0**‘ parameter. It means that the apps you uninstalled using ADB shell pm uninstall -k ~-~-user 0, were only removed for the current user (user 0). If someone else uses your phone with a guest account, all the removed apps will still be available to him.

365 365  
366 366  It simply means that if you need the uninstalled system app sometime later, you can easily re-install the removed app using another ADB shell command.
367 367  
278 +{{code language="bash"}}
368 368  cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup

369 369

375 375  === Disable Samsung Bloatware ===
376 376  
377 377  There is one ADB shell command that lets you just disable an app package on your Samsung or Android. Below is an example command for disabling Bixby on Samsung devices.
378 378  
290 +{{code language="bash"}}
379 379  adb shell pm disable-user ~-~-user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
292 +{{/code}}
380 380  
381 381  That’s all about how we can remove bloatware on Samsung Galaxy devices and re-install the uninstalled apps without root using ADB shell commands. I’ll keep updating the list of safe to remove Samsung bloatware for the phones that will be launched in the future.
