Uninstalling an app from your Samsung phone or any Android device is relatively simple. The only problem is that most traditional methods don't do a great job of it. That means cache and other leftover files that eventually clog up your memory. And you know how valuable memory space is on a smartphone, right? In this article, we show you the two regular ways to delete apps from Samsung phones, but also introduce another, more comprehensive method that will uninstall not just the app, but all the other files that are normally left behind. If your memory card and phone memory are both already stretched to their limits, this should be your primary consideration when doing your smartphone spring cleaning.

Part 1 : How to Uninstall Samsung Smartphone Apps from Main Screen

This is the easiest way to remove apps from your phone. You simply tap and hold on an app that you want to uninstall, and then drag it to the Uninstall bin and drop it. If you drop it in the Remove bin, all it does is remove the icon from the main screen. It will still be in your app drawer.

Although this looks like the easiest way, it only removes the main app from your Samsung device. All your cache, temp and other leftover files will still be there. There's also another way to uninstall apps, and the process is explained in detail below.

Part 2: How to Delete Apps on Samsung Galaxy from Application Manager

Another way to delete app on Samsung smartphone is from App Manager, where the device holds all information about an app, such as names, storage, permission, etc.

Step 1. From your home screen, go to the app drawer by tapping the Apps icon. This is where all the apps installed in your phone are displayed.

Step 2. Go to the Settings screen by tapping on the icon, then scroll down to the Applications section and tap on Applications Manager.

Step 3. In the appropriate tab (Downloaded or SD Card), scroll down to the app you want to remove and tap on it to open the App Info screen. Here, you can click on Uninstall. Confirm when the warning pops up.

Both these methods are quick, but leave residual files that just sit there until you remove them. If you want to do a more thorough job, what you need is a special tool that can get rid of all related files along with uninstalling the app.
