Uninstalling Android apps is child’s play; all you need to do is go to app settings and uninstall the app by tapping the corresponding button. Launchers that support drop and uninstall are even simpler. But sometimes some apps refuse to uninstall by normal method.
There could be two reasons why this could happen. It could be because the app you’re trying to uninstall is a system app, or you’re trying to remove an app installed as a device administrator.
So let’s see how you can deal with both of these situations.
Uninstall system apps
The first obvious reason why you can’t uninstall an app might be because you might be trying it out for a system app. System apps are essential apps for your Android to work properly but sometimes manufacturers install some bloatware as system apps that only take up space on your droid.
First of all, the essential component that you must have on your phone to uninstall these system apps is root access. If you have root access to your phone, you can use one of the many apps available in the market to remove system apps. Root Uninstaller is one such app, which I use to remove that bloatware. Root Uninstaller, after gaining root access on your device, will list all the apps you have installed on your device. The red ones are system apps. You just need to tap on the app and uninstall it.
To uninstall an app, tap it and select the option in the app info page. However, before you try to uninstall any system apps, ask yourself if you really want to proceed. There is no room for error here. As a result, you can damage your Android if you uninstall an essential app. Proceed with caution.
Uninstall admin apps
Second reason – maybe the app you’re trying to remove is installed as an admin app. Most security apps need to control your phone lock status and other administrative tasks, and install themselves as administrative apps. These apps protect themselves from users because of security concerns and therefore you cannot delete them directly.
You need to deactivate its administrative privileges first, then you can remove them easily.
To remove an application’s administrative privileges, open Settings—>Security—>Device Administrators and uncheck the app you want to uninstall. Finally, deactivate the app to uninstall it just like you would with any other regular app in your system.
Conclusion
I am sure that either of these two tricks will help you to install any application blocked by your system easily. Don’t hesitate to ask more questions that pop into your head right now. I will try my best to answer all.
