5 Samsung Bloatware Apps to Uninstall Now (2025) for More Storage
Samsung smartphones come preloaded with dozens of third-party and proprietary apps—many of which users rarely touch. These bloatware apps eat up storage, drain battery, and slow down performance. Removing them via ADB—without rooting—can free up 3–5 GB and significantly boost your phone’s speed. Here are the top five to target first.
Why Remove These Samsung Bloatware Apps?
Hidden system files and cached data from preinstalled apps inflate the "Other" storage category. According to NerdyTechBlog, these unused components can consume several gigabytes, especially on devices with 64GB or less storage. Many users mistake this for a glitch, when it’s actually bloatware silently syncing, updating, and running background services.
Top 5 Samsung Bloatware Apps to Uninstall via ADB
1. Samsung Pay
Designed for secure payments, Samsung Pay is unnecessary if you use Google Pay or Apple Pay. It caches transaction logs and biometric templates even when unused, bloating storage. Remove it with: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.spay
2. Samsung Pass
This app stores login credentials and biometric data for autofill. If you rely on Chrome or Google Smart Lock, Samsung Pass is redundant. It continuously syncs data in the background. Uninstall via: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.pass
3. AR Emoji
AR Emoji and its companion apps store facial scans and animated avatars—even if you never created one. These files can accumulate over time. Remove with: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.emojistore
4. Bixby Services (Vision, Routines, Home)
Bixby apps constantly monitor voice, screen, and behavior, consuming RAM and CPU. Disabling them in Settings only hides them; ADB fully removes them. Use: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent for the main service.
5. Facebook-Integrated Apps (Facebook, Messenger, Instagram)
These apps auto-update, track usage, and sync data—even when idle. Their package names are: com.facebook.katana, com.facebook.orca, and com.instagram.android. Remove them with individual ADB commands to reclaim storage and reduce battery drain.
How to Uninstall Samsung Bloatware with ADB (Step-by-Step)
Enable Developer Options by tapping "Build Number" 7 times in Settings > About Phone. Then enable USB Debugging. Connect your phone to a PC, open ADB, and enter the commands above. Always backup first. Never remove packages starting with "com.android"—these are system-critical.
Post-Removal Tips for Optimal Performance
After uninstalling, reboot your device. Clear cache in Recovery Mode to remove residual data. Monitor battery usage to confirm reduced background drain. For further storage cleanup, use Samsung’s built-in "Device Care" tool or read our guide on How to Clean Up Android Storage.
