5. Uninstall the app you want
Once you click on the unwanted app, you will see a list of options. Scroll down to ‘Uninstall’ to remove the app from your device.
Before uninstalling an app, it is a good idea to first ‘Clear data’ and ‘Clear cache’. Clearing data will remove all data, including login details that you have stored on the app. Clearing the cache will remove all non-essential temporary data generated by the app. It is very important to clear cache before deleting the app so that temporary files are not left behind to consume your space.
