For a script adjusted for Android 9 Pie, see this post So some of the below are not 100% correct packages names. the new name “Device Care”, is still handled as “Device Manager”) “Hiya Service” was on Oreo called “android-ss-service-lib”, and has the package name “” this.ĪDD: With Android 9 Pie they seem to have added a THIRD name for some, that is shown in the Settings Apps – this can make things a bit more confusing…. To address stuff we want to get rid of, we need to know/guess the package name, it is not directly visible from the Apps UI, but many tools can help with that, e.g. The good thing about disable-user is that it is reversible, the bad is that the junk is still there (but it does not completely disappear with pm uninstall either) Here the disable-user syntax on devices with newer Android (Before M, use “disable”)ĭue to a strange decision somewhere, disabling an app, does NOT mean that it is also stopped, so you need to EXPLICITLY stop it also.

To check that it is Connected, and debugging is ON, enter the below, if it is, a device ID is listed (here a faked id) ADB devices Open a CMD-box (no special privileges needed on the PC-side) and go to the suitable directory.

On the PC find ADB.EXE (if not installed, it can be fetches officially here – be sure to fetch from a trustworthy site) In Settings, Developer Options, set the USB-debugging mode TEMPORARILY to ON – remember to set to OFF again afterwards!!

If not already enabled, on the device enable Developer Options (Under Settings About, Software information, click multiple times on Build number) See later for a re-install syntax, with some quirks though!īelow is from my Samsung S8, with info merged fromĪ mail from the guy behind must-have apps like 3c Battery Monitor that is part of 3c All-in-One Toolbox that I highly recommend.Ĭonnect the device to a PC (windows or mac), accept displayed prompts. But uninstall can (to my knowledge…) not be reverted on locked devices – though you can of course always do a factory reset. Yet all hope are not lost as we can do something using a pc! We can either Disable or LOGICALLY uninstall an app using a pc, even on non-rooted devices!!ĭisable is reversible. Both by Google, the manufacturer and for branded devices by the carrier… On Android, benign apps can be uninstalled (or at the least disabled) under Settings, Apps, for each app.īut unfortunately quite some bloat apps, does NOT fall in the benign category.

UPDATE : The below has been rewritten with “disable-user”, and the original “uninstall” toned down. The steps for a user to remove their device from the Android work profile program via the Intune MDM app.When normal uninstall or disable is not available for an app, we DO have a bigger axe for trimming devices, even un-rooted ones This example uses the Microsoft Intune application called Company Portal (Figure 2). With this method, users can remove the work profile through the same MDM application used for enrollment.

Removing a work profile via MDM agent or application Once this process is complete, the work profile is completely removed. This process can take several minutes, depending on how much data is stored within the profile.

The device begins removing all data associated with the work profile, including apps, settings and other information stored within it.

Tap the Remove work profile button, and then confirm the selection when prompted by pressing OK on the pop-up window.

Select the work profile to remove or delete from the various accounts displayed on screen.

This is sometimes listed as Passwords & accounts as well.

Open the device Settings menu, and then select Accounts.

With this method, the user can remove their work profile through the native Settings application on the device (Figure 1).
