How do I completely delete apps on Samsung in one click?

For users who have some technical expertise, using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is an advanced method to remove apps from your Samsung phone. ADB allows you to interact with your phone's system directly through a command-line interface, making it possible to uninstall even system apps or bloatware that cannot be removed through conventional methods.
How to uninstall apps on Samsung phones using ADB?
Step 1. Before using ADB, you need to enable Developer Options and USB Debugging on your Samsung device. Go to "Settings" > "About phone" > tap on "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer Options. Then, go to "Settings" > "Developer options" and toggle "USB debugging" to ON.
Step 2. Download and install the ADB tool on your computer. You can find the installation guide on the official Android Developer website.
Step 3. After installation, connect your Samsung phone to the computer via USB.
Step 4. Open a command prompt or terminal window: On Windows, press "Win" + "R", type "cmd", and press "Enter". On macOS or Linux, open the Terminal.
Step 5. Launch ADB and connect to your device. In the command window, type the following command: adb devices. If everything is set up correctly, your device will appear in the list of connected devices. If not, ensure USB debugging is enabled, and the device is connected properly.
Step 6. To uninstall an app, you must know its package name. You can find this by typing: adb shell pm list packages. This command lists all the apps installed on your device. Identify the package name of the app you want to remove.
Step 7. Once you have the package name, you can uninstall the app using the following command: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>. Replace <package_name> with the actual package name of the app. This command removes the app from your device.
Step 8. To verify that the app was successfully uninstalled, you can re-run the adb shell pm list packages command to see if the app's package name is still listed.
Note: This method is more complex and can affect system stability if used improperly, so proceed with caution. It's recommended only for advanced users who understand ADB commands.
You may also notice that some apps on your Samsung phone/tablet are not deletable, including system apps or pre-installed apps, which are essential for system performance. Although you cannot uninstall them, you can disable or stop them from working in the background.
Here's how:
Step 1. Go to the Settings app on your Samsung phone.
Step 2. Look for Apps and select the app you want to disable.
Step 3. Click "Disable" > confirm the operation by pressing "Disable app".
After reading the above information carefully, you may have fully understood how to delete apps on Samsung phones or tablets. As you can see, those conventional methods can only uninstall apps on your phone one by one, and may not be able to uninstall some preinstalled apps.
