  • James 3 years ago Reply Every line command fails. This is a complete waste of time!
  • B 4 years ago Reply This article is garbage. Not only does this not work, you do not even begin to list all of the bloatware on the tablet. There are a whole lot more app installed that should not be on the tablet.
  • Arthur Edwards 4 years ago Reply Some of the commands did work, most didn’t. Those that did work, the apps were still there even on reboot. Fire 10HD
  • Peter 4 years ago Reply Hi Sadique, Thank you for the instructions, I managed to follow through your guide step by step. Most of the intented bloatwares in my Fire 8 have appeared “success”. However, when I restart my Fire 8, the annoying apps still remains on the main screen. I tried to uninstall them again on CMD screen, the system responded “failure” as it seems “already uninstalled”! I don’t know what to do next. Please advise. Thanks peter
