How do I permanently remove disabled apps?

[marthaHoopkins1976]

I have a samsung galaxy A01 running android 10. I have some apps that I want to completely remove because they are taking up space such as chrome and facebook. I can only disable them but they still take up space in my internal memory. My internal memory (16 GB) is basically full and I'm not sure why. I only have a few essential apps and I haven't updated any of them, but my internal storage just filled up one day. That's why I need to permanently remove these apps to create space. When my memory is full the apps can't work properly which is very frustrating.

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

Or use adb command to remove bloat
Can get more info like XDA Forums

Be very careful about removing system or preinstalled apps, because some of them might be crucial for other system items to work correctly. Chrome might be one of them.

16 GB is extremely minimal these days given the ever-increasing size of apps, so regardless of what you do, you're going to run into storage issues. Since that's a 6 year old phone, you may want to look into upgrading to a newer phone (most of which will have at least 64 GB of storage).

if I uninstall youtube, facebook, DIRECTV, google meet would it affect any other apps?

I don’t think so, but it’s not much more than a guess.

Long ago, I tried the Canta app, which works with Shizuku to uninstall system apps. When you use Canta, it shows apps which are suitable for removal, and those which are not. Even if you proceed, uninstalled apps can be reinstalled subsequently if necessary. I don’t recall the details, but you may care to investigate further.

I regularly use the Google Files app for removing junk files. You may also care to investigate that app.

Facebook, and DirectTV should be ok to remove, no guarantee that they are. I'm not sure how intertwined any Google apps are with each other.

ADB would require a PC. I am not sure if you can do it via Linux, but Windows, and I think Apple can.

You can never completely remove those apps without root or a custom ROM. You can just disable them, that will atleast stop them from spying on you and running in the background (i.e taking up your RAM).
Also, if you haven't done this already, uninstall updates for the disabled apps.

Another one of these "junk cleaner" apps. They are absolutely useless. This one is more dangerous because it's made by google.
