Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.

STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging

Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging on your device so that it is recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.

STEP 3: Establish ADB Shell Connection

1. To begin with, connect your device to the PC via USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
2. Then head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
3. Now in the following command in the CMD window to verify the ADB connection: adb devices
4. If you get the device ID, then the connection stands successful. Now type in the below command to open the Shell environment: adb shell
5. It will now list out your device codename, which means that the shell connection has been successfully established as well, and you are good to go ahead to debloat or remove bloatware from Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

STEP 4: ADB Commands to Debloat/Remove Bloatware from Galaxy Z Fold 4

1. In order to find the list of all the apps installed as well as their package names, you may execute the below command: pm list packages
2. Now, the generic command to uninstall any bloatware from a device is: pm uninstall -k –user 0 PackageName
3. For example, the package name for Game Tools is com.samsung.android.game.gametools, so its removal command will be: pm uninstall -k –user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools
4. In the same manner, you may now directly copy the bloatware removal command corresponding to their app from the below list and paste it into the CMD window

NOTE: If you have any concerns about whether the removal of any of the apps would cause any issues on your device or not, then the best bet is to first disable them and use your device for a minute or two. If everything is working well and good, then you could permanently remove them from your device. However, if your device is not working as expected, then you could easily re-enable that app.

Disable/Re-Enable Bloatware Apps on Samsung

1. In order to disable any bloatware app, execute the below command in the CMD window (make sure that you have executed the adb shell command beforehand) pm disable-user -–user 0 PackageName
2. Replace PackageName accordingly from the above command. For example, if you wish to disable Game Tool, then its app package name is com.samsung.android.game.gametools, so the above command will transform to: pm disable-user -–user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools
3. Now to re-enable any app, you will have to execute the following command: pm enable -–user 0 PackageName
4. Say, if you wish to enable Game Tools that has the package name com.samsung.android.game.gametools, the command will be: pm enable -–user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools

Re-Install Bloatware Apps on Samsung

If you have uninstalled any bloatware app but after that, your device or any of its apps isn’t functioning along the expected lines, then you could easily reinstall that app.

1. For that, execute the below command (after executing the adb shell command). Make sure to replace PackageName accordingly: cmd package install-existing PackageName
2. For example, if you wish to reinstall Game Tools whose app package name is com.samsung.android.game.gametools, then the above command will transform to: cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.game.gametools
