Easy Way to unistall useless system applications and free internal space in Android Phone (root required) [WITH SCREENSHOTS]

Phone manufactures tend to include a number of applications that they assume could be useful to us but are actually useless and most annoying; they tend to take a lot of space which would have been used to install applications that we really need.

Before rooting your phone, it is impossible to uninstall or delete these applications since you are not granted that permission to do so.

After rooting your phone you then have full access to system files and also have full permission to change anything you wish (That's if you are not dumb enough to delete system applications that your phone uses to run :-D)

Anyhow, you have to be careful not to temper with any file (application) you don't know otherwise you're might not function again. But still, it's not that scary a process. Any application that was merely added there can be easily noticed e.g Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WeChat, WhatsApp, MovieMaker, Audio Player, GameHub... etc

I will guide you in a very easy way to do this using a great file explorer called ES File Explorer. You simply won't be able to delete system files the way you would just delete any file from your phone storage.

Let’s begin:

STEP 1

Launch ES File Explorer from your Application menu/drawer

STEP 2

You should be able to see your files

STEP 3

Tap/Press the menu button on your phone which should launch a side bar within ES File Explorer

STEP4

Scroll along the side bar to "Root Explorer." Make sure it is turned ON. Tap "Root Explore" again and for the first time, it should request root access. Grant it.

STEP 5

You should see a list of options to choose from. Go to "Uninstall system app"

STEP 6

You should be able to see a list of system apps. Scroll until you file the app you wish to uninstall/remove

STEP 7

After finding it, hold it until you're given the option to select it. You'll see the "uninstall option at the bottom of ES File Explorer

STEP 8

Tap "Uninstall" to remove it and click "OK" in the next dialog box that displays. You may wish to back it up on your SD Card if you wish to keep it and re-install it whenever you wish.
