Uninstalling System Apps and Bloatware in Android: Safe to Remove Apps

Most of the Android phones come loaded with some extra apps that we never use. As a result, when the memory of the phone becomes almost full, the only solution that remains is uninstalling other apps. But if you need all the apps you have installed yourself the other alternative is uninstalling system apps and bloatware. In that case, the first thing you will need is a rooted phone. Without root access, you cannot really uninstall those not-so-must-have apps. In a rooted phone, you can use apps like System App Remover to uninstall any app you want, but you need to be careful about what you are uninstalling. Any wrong decision might make your phone unusable or cripple one or some important functions. Here is a list of items you can safely remove from your phone
