I just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots it will factory reset.

Debloating your device will make it faster, more private and more secure (less atack surface).

    some apps are installed by your system. you can only “disable” them through the settings but not uninstall them.

      Yes yes I understand that. But is this ADB trick anything other than a time-saver? As you say, they cannot be uninstalled either way.

        Adb commands can uninstall them instead of just disabling them, thats why you should try it

          Right. I’ve even done that in the past. Would be nice to see the evidence that uninstalling is any more useful than disabling.
