Uninstall bloatware on Samsung phone
Enabling USB Debugging on your phone
Open the Settings app on your phone and scroll down to About Phone.
Tap on the Build Number seven times to enable Developer Options.
Go back to the Settings menu and go to System > Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
Interfacing your phone with ADB
Plug your phone into your computer and change the USB settings from Charge only mode to File transfer (MTP) mode.
Ensure that you have ADB installed on your computer.
On your computer, browse to the directory where ADB is installed. Hold the Shift key and right-click on the name of the directory and select Open command or PowerShell window here.
If you're using a Mac, launch a Terminal window and navigate to the ADB directory using cd "path to the directory" (without the angular brackets).
Now, type in adb devices and hit enter.
You will see the system is starting the ADB daemon. If this is your first time running ADB, you'll see a prompt on your phone asking you to authorize a connection with the computer. Grant it.
Finding the name of the packages to uninstall
In the command prompt/terminal window, enter adb shell and hit enter.
Then, use the following command:
pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>'This will list all the OEM and carrier apps installed on your device.
Alternatively, you can also use an app called App Inspector from the Play Store to know the package names of all the installed apps on your phone. Install the app, select the app you want to uninstall and the package name will be listed there. Make a note of the package names of all the apps you want to uninstall.
