My Samsung Note 5 does not have application manager. How do I uninstall preinstalled apps?

[Android Central Question]

It's a Note 5 by Samsung.

It should have an application manager, which is found in the phone's main settings.

The Note 5 has an application manager.

Settings>apps>application manager.

Perhaps you have a fake?

Additionally - preinstalled apps often can't be uninstalled, they can usually only be disabled.

^ Yeah that's true I think we forgot that bit.

Note 5 had a lot of preloaded junk on it that could be uninstalled, at least the Verizon one did. Some apps of course could only be disabled.

Depending on the phone and which apps you want to uninstall, it is worth exploring with low hopes.

My two LG phones had a few pre-installed games I did not want. Manually uninstalling them was disabled due to them being pre-installed.

However, both phones came with a pre-installed "smart cleaning" app (from LG?). After waiting a month, these games became classified as "not used" and the "smart cleaning" app uninstalled them for me. Unfortunately, not all the bloatware can be uninstalled that way.

Short of that, the best you can do is to "disable" the apps.
