Hi all! New to Android.

I have rooted my phone (my recovery software is CWM) using superSU. Ran a check to see if rooted. It's rooted.
Trying to use Titanium Backup to uninstall bloatware on my roommate's HTC Desire 816.
I'm running the stock OS. I'm a noob and frankly don't want to try to download a new ROM after having rooted it (I'm scared.)

Each time I reset, the apps I uninstalled are still there. When I uninstall them initially (using Titanium Backup) the icons don't even go away (but storage frees up.)

PS: looks like I have S-ON in the boot menu. I just wanna uninstall the bloatware. Haven't found a solution! Any answers? It feels like I'm shouting into the void. I haven't been on a forum in years! Lol.

Edit: Disabling works just fine. Still can't uninstall though.

Welcome to the forums. Can you elaborate on reset? Do you mean rebooting the phone, or actually resetting it?
 
Make sure you nandroid backup in CWM before uninstalling anything.
