What is removed apps and users on android

«Removed apps and users» using lots of data

Looking at my recent data usage something called «Removed apps and users» has used a massive amount of data compared to everything else. I’ve only noticed it recently. Anybody know what this is?

It means that you uninstalled or disabled some apps recently and that data was used by them during the period selected in the stats,.

Other possibility is that you used the new lollipop feature to create different accounts in your phone or activate the guest user. And after some use you removed them.

Aaaahh OK, I get it. No I haven’t created any different accounts, so it must be data used by apps that I’ve recently uninstalled. Thanks for clearing that up for me

I’m having same issue. And it’s taking so much data that I can’t install any more apps.

Yet. I’ve also deleted apps to save space / data. I deleted 3 apps, still said «storage space running out». But without doing anything else. I (tried to) re-install one app that I just deleted / uninstalled. (Slots app) and it wouldn’t let me install it saying too much data or whatever. The same app I just had, deleted and I can’t get it back.

How can I fix this?

The «remove apps and users». You click on it. But you can’t seem to do anything at all with it.

Hello Jay, welcome to the forums! If I understood correctly your problem is completely different than the OP’s. He was trying to understand why ‘removed apps and users’ were using so much mobile data (not storage). Those were apps the he used for a while and then uninstalled. That number reflects how much data those uninstalled apps used through his mobile connection while they were still active.

You seem to have storage problems and there’s no enough free space in your internal storage to install new apps. Take a look at this guide on how to deal with storage issues.

Basically you need to remove some apps and personal files (SMS, media, etc) until the system let you install more apps. Also, go to settings — storage and check who’s taking most of your internal storage. You could post a screenshot here and we’ll try to figure out what’s going on.

Javier (or anyone kind enough to take an interest in my redundant post).

Hopefully it works.

Since that cycle ended, there’s been no additional data used, so maybe it’s just the consequence of one if my random app purges.

I’m concerned, though, bc I’ll be switching mobile plans and that’s enough data consumption to throw me into a higher data bracket. How can I manage—if not fully resolve—this issue?

Hello Angeline, welcome to the forums. Yeah, you’re right. Those 353mb were used by apps that are no longer installed in your phone. They are not using data since that that cycle ended.

So any suggestions on how to minimize this date usage going forward? And to clarify, the usage is not related to removals, per se, but to the apps’ activity for that period prior to removal, right?

So it would seem best to use more discretion in general as to the apps I install.

Yes, the usage is related to the apps activity for that period.

More discretion is the way to go Check in that screen which apps are using most of your data and you can restrict background data for anyone of them.

Yes! It’s happened to me a couple of times! Massive amts of days usage and I don’t evendors know what it is!

This ha’s happened to me several times! I barely use any dat at all! My month is up in a few days and I’ve only used 14.01 mgs. When that remove apps and users, it users huge amts of data#

I’m not convinced that that’s the problem. My data usage went sky high, put me over my plan, in fact. And I didn’t delete any apps.

Everyone thinks 9 that removed apps and users is a bug or glitch. No, this is not a glitch, not a bug, but a HACKER attack. I know this because I have had this group of hackers following and harassing me for almost 3 years now. Such bad asses, that they just keep corrupting my devices and hijacking my network. I know I will find them someday and am looking to hire another hacker to catch them and get me some locations. At that point, you they will pay dearly. They have screwed up my life so badly, getting me fired from 2 jobs by corrupting data entry, appointments, clients names all pointing directly at me and making it look like I am making errors. 54 Laptops, 19 Smart Phones, 8 Apple devices, 15 Tablets, 2 Droid notebooks, 4 Chromebooks.. ALL rendered useless. Unable to be powered on. They have literally cost me over $200,000 in time and devices and I have reported this to the authorities, over and over. To the point that I even said, «when I find them, I will murder each and everyone of them». The cops didn’t do a thing, the FBI hung up on me, so what now? Do I take the law into my own hands?

If I walked you through where the embedded data is in your Chrome account, you would trip out. Tell ya what, I know the exact instructions on how to hack into a Chromebook. If you will help me submit this to Google, I’ll split it with you. I mean the reward. And just to let you know, I feel your pain man X10. These MFing people have been harassing me for almost 3 years. Just a hint for you.. they have embedded a folder with instructions to create a printer for you, A Fed-Ex printer at that, so that is one way of getting into your devices, other are numerous enumerator adaptors, I have also found a Mojo Public Router Feed. This is all such BS, I want ot kill these people so bad.

How to Remove System Apps from Android Phones

“How to get rid of the unwanted apps that are almost of no use to me?”– this is one of the major concerns for a user of smartphone whatever phone he/she might be using. While it is very easy to uninstall a third-party app, removing the apps that come pre-loaded with your phone might prove a hard nut to crack. Phone manufacturers often disable the Uninstall option for such apps that are called “bloatware”, a word most of us hate.

It is not that the bloatware issue is confined to Android smartphones only. The users of Symbian (almost dead now), iOS, WindowsPhone, Bada, Blackberry, WebOS, all face this problem. While the users of other operating systems for mobile might be doomed to tolerate the bloatware apps, those who are on Android can take advantage of it being an Open Source attribute and easily remove such apps.

The question is: “Are all apps that come with your Android phone by default deserve to be dumped?” The answer is definitely a big “NO”. Some of these apps are undoubtedly useful but there are still many others that only populate your phone’s app drawer and keep you irritating. Besides the unused apps, there are certain apps that are either trial versions or sponsored in nature. All these apps often occupy much of your phone’s internal memory and RAM. The reason that they might make the phone perform slower is that these apps keep running in the background which eats up the RAM memory.

It is therefore naturally desirable that we might wish to remove or uninstall such apps or games. The present article is aimed to suggest several methods that might help you if you are willing to fire the useless system apps out of your Android phone. For the sake of convenience and on the basis of the nature of the procedure, I have divided the article into two parts. The first one is for those who have not rooted their phone, nor are they willing to root it

Remove System Apps from Android:

Hide and Disable Bloatware on Your Phone:

If you have an Android phone with no root access, your chances of getting a perfect divorce with bloatware become a little dimmer, if not dark. Without root permission, you can hide such apps and make them non-functioning, but still, it is safer and as beneficial as removing the apps altogether. I am not sure what phones have the app hiding function, but it is certainly found in the Samsung Galaxy series phones (I have tested both the bloatware removal methods on Galaxy S4, S3 and Note 10.1)

Here is how you can do it if the option is available on your device. Open the App Drawer on your phone and tap on the options/menu button (on Galaxy phones, it is left to the center key), and select “Hide Applications”. Check the desired apps on the next screen and tap on “Done” on the top bar. Doing this will remove the apps from the app list but they will still keep working in the background and thus eating battery and RAM. To bring the hidden apps back to the app drawer later, you can use the “Show Hidden Applications” option.

Okay, we are done with hiding the undesired apps, but we also need to stop them from working stealthily. Let’s do that too. Open your phone’s Settings, go to Application Manager and tap on it. It will show all apps under three heads: 1). the third party or Downloaded apps, 2). Running apps, and 3). All apps. Swipe your finger from right to left to see the list of all apps present on your phone. Scroll the list to find the app that you want to stop working and tap on it. Now you will see an interface as shown below.

What you have to do is to tap on “Force Stop” and “Disable” buttons. Thus the app that was already hidden has now stopped working too. Nice!

Deleting System Apps/Bloatware on Rooted Phones

As I said earlier, having a rooted Android phone has its own delicacies. Rooting makes you eligible to enter the restricted area of your phone where the system files lay protected otherwise. It is just like breaking into your own apartment. As you have the right to modify the system files of your device, you can easily manage things using various apps and utilities. We shall consider a few such methods below.

Using a Root File Explorer or Terminal Emulator:

The Google Play store is replete with hundreds of file managers and terminal emulators that can make this task a child’s play. But there is a stark aspect of this method, so you need to a little careful.

Rooting your Android phone will void its warranty but you can always reclaim it be installing the stock firmware. There are some ways to unroot the device leaving no trace, but this might not be true for all devices. If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, rooting might increase the binary flash count but you can reset it to “0” using the Triangle Away app by Chainfire. Additionally, you can check out the following video tutorial to reset the flash count.

Also, make sure that the app you are going to delete is not essential to the operating system and is not associated with some important function.

Download and install any of the following apps and navigate to the system>apps folder on your phones internal SD card. Find the file, long press it to get the delete option and delete it.

[googleplay url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free”] [googleplay url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.dohkoos.rootuninstaller”]

If your phone is on Jelly Bean firmware, make sure you have installed the latest version of the SuperSU app, that is 1.00 (now), or you might get error while deleting a system app. Here are some screenshots that I made on my Galaxy S3 with Root Explorer and SU File Manager & Terminal apps respectively.

We can only hope that this tutorial might prove helpful for you in getting rid of useless apps that come with your Android device. If it is so, do not forget to share this article with your friends. To get updated with new useful tips and tricks, joins us on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

Removing system apps on Android 10 impossible?

Breadcrumb

Dear early adopters, I recently switched to Android 10 without any hassle. Root and TWRP have been contained after taking the necessary steps, already mentioned over and over.

The one thing I do not get however is why the app «System App Remover (root needed)» seems to be softbricking my device.
I am on the latest TWRP 3.3.1-65 by mauronofrio, Magisk beta 19.4. Everything is working fine, until I use the app mentioned above.
The apps I am deleting did not yet ever cause any problem at all getting deleted by this exact app so this seems to be app-specific.
Apps I am deleting e.g.:
Chrome
Netflix
Gmail
Google
Google Movies
Google Music
Google Books (or slightly different)

In general just some bloatware. Everything is working flawlessly until I reboot. I am then shown the typical safetynet screen for about 30 seconds and then taken to the fastboot screen, rendering the device useless-as-is. I did try deleting Netflix only as well with the same results.
The only thing reverting those steps is flashing the ROM in TWRP, flashing TWRP and magisk for obvious reasons and trying all over again.

I did try deleting the same apps in Titanium Backup. Deleting Netlix worked without any hickups it seemed. A reboot brought it back up again.
Google apps such as Chrome and Gmail are even getting me a nice «apk-file could not be found/located» message.

How do you guys get rid off those unwanted apps on Android 10 then? Am I missing something? I would appreciate a more technical explanation on the topic as to why things are the way they are if anyone of you guys experiences the same.
