Prerequisites for System App Remover
Before we get into the thick of things, we will have to go through certain steps so that the whole process of system app remover goes without any interruption. So if you are ready, let’s get started.
1. Installing App Inspector
Before you starting system app remover, you should exactly know the
file path of the app, as that will be used to execute the command to delete the app. For now, just head over to the following link and install the
App Inspector app from the Play Store.
2. Enabling USB Debugging
Just follow this path,
About Phone->Build Number and tap on it 5-6 times. This enables the Developer Options. Now go to
Developer Options and enable
“USB Debugging”.
3. Installing Android Debug Bridge (ADB) On Your Computer
To execute our process, we will need the help of ADB tool. Basically, ADB is a command line tool which helps you interact with your Android Device and execute commands on it using your computer.
Installing ADB on Windows

Android SDK download page and scroll down to the bottom
till you find the link shown in the picture. Click on the link to download the zip file. Extract the zip file and run the .exe file. Deselect everything other than

Note: I am using my OnePlus to demonstrate this method, but it will work on any Android device. Also, I am using a Linux. Windows users should follow the same command. The only difference is that instead of the Terminal, Command Prompt will be used.
1. First,
open the App Inspector app and tap on the
“App List”. Scroll down to find the app you want to uninstall and tap to open. In my case, I will uninstall the Hangouts app.
Note down the app path for your app. See the picture for your reference.
2. Now, connect the phone to your computer and select the file transfer mode.
3. To check that your device is being identified by the ADB program,
open the Command Prompt/Terminal and enter the following code and hit enter/return.
adb devices
After the command is run, you will be able to see an alphanumeric code representing your device and the word device written beside it.
4. Now, enter the command
adb shell to enter the shell mode. You should be able to see your device name now.
5. Now to uninstall the app, just copy and paste the following command.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
Replace the
<name of package> block with the path for your app. For example, in the code below the path shown is for the Hangouts app. Similarly, yours will depend on the app you wish to uninstall.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.google.talk
6. Now all that is left is to press enter/return and the app will be uninstalled and you will see the word
“Success” on your Command Prompt/Terminal as shown in the picture above. Congratulations, the app is now uninstalled. Just to be sure, let us search for the app on the phone.
