Indeed, you have wondered how to delete unused apps<\/strong> on your mobile. After all, there are many cases where these apps take up excessive space in the phone\u2019s memory. We can require this space for other files, so we must find a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have apps you do not use and want to remove them, you are in the ideal place. At InsiderBits, we will show you the procedures you should follow for Android and iOS. After all, this problem does not discriminate between the two operating systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delete unused apps from your Android device<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Removing unused applications on Android is one of the most required procedures. After all, these types of phones bring many default apps that only sometimes fit our needs. What is the best way to remove them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The best way to do this is by entering the Files application<\/strong> that allows you to view your files. You will have to look at the bottom of the screen for an option that says \u201cClean<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When you click on this option, you must search among the different tabs that appear. One of these should allow you to pick and remove unused apps<\/strong>. However, this tab may not be visible, and you may need to follow another process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 There is a second option called \u201cFree up more space<\/strong>.\u201d You can search for apps you use sparingly to eliminate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You must give the Files app the necessary permissions<\/strong> to review files in your apps. In this way, the option \u201cDelete the apps you do not use\u201d will appear, with which you can continue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already, at this point, you will have on the screen a list of applications that you are not using on your mobile. Therefore, all you have to do is click on those that you should uninstall. Something significant is that Android users currently download many applications regardless of their use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about factory applications?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we have already mentioned, one of the main concerns for Android users is the default apps. However, the best option is to opt for disabling them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In \u201cAnwendungen<\/strong>,\u201d you must look for the list where those installed apps will appear. These may have been installed before or after you have purchased the mobile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Tap pre-installed apps and look for an option to disable<\/strong> them. It may also appear as \u201cDisable<\/strong>,\u201d depending on your device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"delete<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When you perform this action, the app will no longer be available on the home screen and will no longer update. It will also stop using mobile resources<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not be able to remove the APK, but you can prevent the app from accumulating data on your phone. After all, these are the ones that increase to the point of multiplying the original size of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABD Method to delete unused apps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to disabling apps, you can use the ADB Shell app. It allows you to remove pre-installed apps without having to save useless APKs. The following process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It would help if you turned on the scheduler features on your Android phone. It usually does by pressing the build number several times in a row. You can find it in settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The function that will allow you to perform this process is called \u201cUSB Debugging<\/strong>.\u201d You must locate and activate it to continue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"delete<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You must have an app called Platforms Tools on your computer. You can use this on Windows and Linux or Mac, as the case may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Download the Platforms Tools file<\/a>, unzip the folder, and run the installation. The wizard will help you to make the process much easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Once installed, you must open the terminal window through the \u201cCMD<\/strong>\u201d command in the Windows browser. You must also connect your phone to the computer and use the RSA code<\/strong> to activate the function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 First, you must place in the terminal \u201cadb devices<\/strong>\u201d and verify that your phone appears. If it is not, you will have to reconnect the mobile via USB and repeat the command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Once your mobile appears, use the command \u201cadb shell pm list packages<\/strong>,\u201d and your mobile apps will appear. Choose which one you will delete and type \u201cadb shell pm uninstall -k \u2013user 0 pack-name<\/strong>\u201d in the terminal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"delete<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Next, you must change \u201cpack-name<\/strong>\u201d and enter the ID of the app<\/strong> you are going to uninstall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"delete<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember that this procedure is very delicate and could damage certain functions on your phone. However, it is also the most effective way to remove unused apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, remember that the ID corresponds to everything that appears after the colon in the app. For example, com. google. Android.apps.tachyon for Google Meet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to delete unused apps on iOS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like almost anything you want to do on your phone, the process changes when we migrate to iOS. After all, this operating system features a lot of changes when it comes to the settings section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Since iOS 11<\/strong>, you can delete those applications you are not using automatically. It is a handy function for those who are fans of making constant downloads and need to remember how many apps they have on their mobile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Only enter the phone\u2019s settings and find the storage section. It can be found in \u201cGeneral\u201d <\/strong>and will allow you to activate a function called \u201cUninstall unused apps<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Once this is activated, your phone will be responsible for classifying the apps according to the frequency of use. Those that have a long time without opening will be eliminated without you having to worry about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You can also use this feature from the same settings section through iTunes and the App Store<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that on iOS phones, the app data is preserved even when the APK is removed. Therefore, you won\u2019t have to worry about losing your information if you want to use a specific app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
