When you buy a new phone, you love the free built-in apps, you feel special. Fast forward a month later and you find them to be a pain in the ass. Apart from the necessary stuff, your phone might have so many apps that are there just to eat up the space. You are pissed but what should be done? This is the question I’m going to deal in detail in this article. Let’s clear all your doubts.

Get Your facts Right

There are three categories of users- newbies, ordinary and techie. For the first two categories, let me make it clear thet when a person says Factory Reset, it means the phone would be back to what it was when it came from the shop. That means all your downloaded data is gonna disappear. And all the factory set data would be as it is. Your buggy apps are not gonna go. There are other ways for that.

Be Careful With Them

I understand your frustration well and good but in the hurry to get rid of awful files, don’t lure yourself to delete the necessary things. There are apps and plugins and files that keep your system together and you don’t want to commit the crime of freezing your phone’s basic activities with your own hands. So delete only the apps which you are sure of. In case you are having doubts as to which file is to be deleted, ask us down in the comment box.

How To Deal With These Apps?

Rooting

Many people do not hesitate to root their phones in order to get the device all customized for the best use. If you are one of them and your phone is already rooted, here’s what you should do. Go to the Apps folder and long press on the file you wish to remove. Now, you’d see the delete option, tap on it and you are done. If you are toying with the idea to root your phone, you should know the pros and cons in advance.

Without Rooting

You can’t get these apps completely out of your system without rooting. But what you can do to make them stop eating up all your space is disable them. This would make them sit quietly on the back seat. You would not see them on the App drawer either. This is what you can do. Go to Settings>> Apps>> All>> Select the app>> Disable. But before you disable an app, be sure to Uninstall Updates, this would free a lot of your space.

That’s all you really need to know. It is fine to replace your built-in apps with some less terrible, third party apps needing less space. The Google Package is particularly maddening. If you still have a few doubts, you know you can always comment and tell us. We’re here to help you through.
