How to Delete Apps on Android Phones or Tablets

Remove unwanted apps from your Android device

This article explains how to uninstall apps you don’t use anymore for all versions of Android 4.1 and later. As of 2021, most phones run Android 10 or higher.

Uninstall Android Apps from the App Drawer or Using Settings

There are two ways to uninstall a downloaded app on your Android phone or tablet: the Settings app or the app drawer. We detail both methods below.

From the App Drawer

Here’s how to uninstall from the app drawer:

In the app drawer, long-press the app you want to delete.

Drag the icon to the upper-right corner of the screen where the word Uninstall appears. Release your finger.

Confirm that you want to uninstall the app.

In Settings

It’s possible to uninstall an app using the Android settings rather than the app drawer. Here’s how:

Open Settings.

Select Apps & Notifications > See all X apps (the X is the number of apps currently installed on the device).

Select the app you wish to uninstall.

Select Uninstall.

Confirm you want to uninstall the app.

On Old Android Versions

The steps to delete or uninstall an app on pre-4.0 versions of Android are similarly simple. There may be some variation among phone brands and Android versions, but this method works on most Android devices.

For Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), go to Settings > Apps, then follow the steps for the older versions of Android.

Tap Menu (hard or soft button).

Select Settings, then choose Applications > Manage applications.

Tap the app you want to delete.

Tap Uninstall to remove the app from your device. If there’s no uninstall button, it’s a system app, and you can’t delete it.

On Some Samsung Devices

If the previous instructions don’t work on your Samsung device, try this:

Tap the Recent apps button and then tap Task manager.

Go to the Download tab and find the app you want to uninstall.

Tap the Uninstall button next to the app.

Tap OK.

If you don’t see an Uninstall button, you can’t delete the app using this method.

On a Kindle Fire

Amazon elected to go with an older customized version of Android for its Kindle devices, so the instructions to remove apps are different. You can manage your Kindle from your Amazon account on the web, but here’s how to delete apps using the device:

Go to the Home screen and tap the Apps tab.

Tap the Device tab to show only the apps on the Kindle (as opposed to all the apps you could potentially store on the device).

Long-press the app you want to remove until you feel or see a response.

Tap Remove from Device.

You’re not limited to the Amazon App Store when you install apps. You retain access to Kindle apps you installed through Amazon. However, you don’t necessarily have that same access to apps you installed through third-party app stores or sideloaded on the device.

Purchased Apps and the Cloud

Nearly all Android app stores let you keep your license to reinstall a purchased app. If you uninstall software that you bought from Google Play, for example, you can download it again if you change your mind later.

To delete your access to an app you purchased on Amazon, you must do that through your Amazon account on the web. It’s a more involved process than uninstalling it from a device. This may come in handy if you deem an app offensive and never want to see it again.

Spammy Apps That Make More Apps

Occasionally, you might run into an app that makes other apps, so you might delete things you don’t remember installing. You’re not imagining things. You can read more about avoiding Android spam. If you can identify the offending app, you can get rid of the problem. App stores are cracking down on this sort of nuisance.

System Apps

You can try to delete an app that shipped with your phone, but this often does not work. Most of these apps are tied to the inner workings of your phone, and deleting them could break other apps. Shy of going to drastic measures and rooting the phone, the system apps have to stay.

System apps include Gmail, Google Maps, Chrome, and Google Search. Some manufacturers, such as Samsung and Sony, install their own system apps on their phones and tablets in addition to the Google apps. Some, like the Amazon Kindle, remove all Google apps and include a different set of system apps.

How to uninstall apps in Android

We’ve seen the reports: Millennials are lacking in loyalty toward apps. When you look at the average person’s app habits, it is easy to see why. There are around 3 million apps available in the Google Play store — including a swath of top-tier games — and not every app is going to be perfect for you. Your device’s memory is limited, so it’s time to purge the apps you never use. How do you cleanse your device of unplayed games and apps, though? Have no fear! We heard your terrible plight, and we put together this simple guide on how to uninstall apps in Android.

Before we begin, if you do not intend to reinstall the app you are removing, take the time to hit the Clear Data option for any app you are uninstalling. You can usually find this button in the Storage section near the Uninstall button in each of our guides. This ensures that as little data from the app as possible will be left on your device after you uninstall it. If you are just removing an app temporarily — for instance, to make space for an operating system update — feel free to leave the data there so it will still be available when you put the app back onto your device later.

Finally, some apps are not able to be removed. This is usually the case with apps crucial to your device’s daily running, or — in more insidious cases — apps that have been added by your carrier or phone manufacturer. Thankfully, even though you cannot remove these apps without rooting your phone, you can usually disable them, and we added small notes to each of our guides to highlight how you can do this.

Be warned — be sure you know what you are disabling. While it is difficult to brick a phone by disabling apps, it never hurts to be sure you are turning off something you really don’t need. If you need a more in-depth guide to purging your phone of these apps, then check out our guide on removing bloatware.

How to uninstall apps in stock Android

Stock Android is the base level of Android, as created by Google. Though this level of Android is found primarily on Google’s Pixel and Nexus devices, you will find that many phone manufacturers put a light modification on top of stock on their devices (usually referred to as “skins”). Since stock Android is the underlying skeleton of most Android phones out there, you usually only need to look further than this entry if your phone has a more heavily modified Android skin, like Samsung’s Experience (most recently re-dubbed One UI).

Uninstalling apps from stock Android is simple:

1. Select the Settings app from your app drawer or home screen.
2. Tap Apps and Notifications, then hit App Info.
3. Scroll down the list until you find the app you want to remove and tap it.
4. Select Uninstall.

If you come across an app that cannot be removed, then simply follow the same instructions as above, just substituting Disable for Uninstall in the final step. That should ensure that the offending app — while not removed totally — cannot be activated or impact your day-to-day activity.

How to uninstall apps in Samsung Experience and One UI

Samsung’s modified Android skin has evolved a lot over the years. Previously known as TouchWiz, it was maligned as one of the worst Android skins in the world — to the point where Google almost stepped in to make it better. One UI is Samsung’s latest OS, and it, along with the older Samsung Experience, is much smoother and sleeker.

Surprisingly enough, removing apps on One UI or Samsung Experience is actually simpler than on stock Android. Even though you can still go to the Settings app, access the app list, and so on — Samsung has offered users an even faster shortcut to remove or disable undesired apps.

1. Find the app you wish to uninstall.
2. Long-press (tap and hold your finger) on the app, and wait for a pop-up menu to appear.
3. Tap Uninstall.
4. If you want to uninstall multiple apps on an S8 or newer, then you can tap Select from the same pop-up menu, select each app you want rid of, then tap Uninstall at the top left. This option isn’t available on older Samsung phones like the S7 Edge.

Note that several apps will not let you uninstall them, so instead, you should search for the option to disable them. It’s a quick and easy process; just click Disable instead of Uninstall after following the steps we presented above.

How to uninstall apps in Huawei’s EMUI

Huawei’s EMUI is a different Android version that is heavily altered from the stock Android formula, working more like iOS than Android in many regards. Nevertheless, you can follow the same instructions when uninstalling EMUI as you would when removing any other application from an Android device.

1. Find the app you want to uninstall on your home page or in your app drawer.
2. Long-press (tap and hold your finger) on the app until your phone vibrates and a pop-up menu appears.
3. Tap Uninstall.

You might not have the ability to uninstall specific apps that are necessary for your phone’s operating system. You can’t uninstall others because of particular contracts with Huawei. However, you can usually disable those apps if you tap Disable instead of Uninstall when the menu we mentioned earlier pops up on your screen.

Hello,
After executing this on my Samsung GT-I8200N I lost the parameters application, and when I try to start «parameters» from the menu at the bottom left of the phone, I get «TouchWiz has stopped». Everything else seems to be working on the phone.
Help would be appreciated.

What about removing corresponding /data parts also? Will it left after just cleaning /system components?

@Petrioia : Yes you should install a clean Rom after that . Touchwiz depends on Gapps I guess

be care full there is some apps don’t need to be deleted, else you will get some problems while using some apps.

You can’t perform that action at this time.

You signed in with another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session. You signed out in another tab or window. Reload to refresh your session.
