How to remove google from android

Is there a way to remove everything google related in an android phone? I know i can disable the apps but i would sleep better aat night knowing they are off my phone

Welcome to the forums. Completely removing Google from an Android device is possible, there would be limitations, however. No Google play store would mean other ways of getting apps, for starters.

What device do you have?

Wanting Google off Android is like wanting Microsoft off of Windows. Android is made by Google.

Golfdriver97 is correct that it's technically possible but has some downsides. In my opinion it's not worth it. If there's something specific you're concerned with about having Google on your phone, it may be better to try and address that specifically rather than just a blanket removal.

Root your phone, install Lineage OS, don't install Gapps.
Good luck.

In my ROM flashing days, I would often forget to flash GApps. One day, on a day off, I tried to go without. It was not a fun experience. Not one I would ever really recommend.

You could always switch to an iPhone, but they collect more of your data than Google does.
