Only disable iirc - but it has the same effect ๐
I thought ADB did remove the apps? You should be able to disable from within the OS, although I wouldn't be surprised if this function was blocked.
You can disable, or uninstall from user space, which is not the same as removing it entirely
Yeah exactly. It's still effectively uninstalling the app though and should free up space. But it'll still come back if you create another user.
I haven't done it in a while. You can onstall the app via another adb command again. It's another disabling than from within the OS
Me neither lol I just start with a ROM that doesn't have it to begin with. Hell, my phone has never even had Android System Webview - it came with Mulch instead.
You can uninstall the app for the user, which achieves 99% of the same effect.
For my case though, on an older Samsung phone running Android 11, I was able to just use the uninstall command (not just for the user) for most bloat apps. Only a couple or so apps refused to be uninstalled entirely. It may not still be valid but it is possible.
