With the beginning of a new decade, Samsung also changed the mnemonics of its popular Galaxy S-series phones and went ahead with the name Galaxy S20 series. There is a total of 3 devices, i.e. the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. However, the last year’s flagship, the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus or S10E are still a good package and if you do not want to shed almost $1000 for the new Galaxy S20 series, then you can still buy the Galaxy S10 series for a great deal.
And if you happen to purchase a new Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, or the Galaxy S10E and are looking for a way to get rid of the bloatware installed on your phone then, you are at the right place. As in this post, we will guide you on how to remove bloatware on Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, or Galaxy S10E. So, that being said, let us get straight into the article itself:
Pre-requisites
Now before you jump over to the steps on how to remove the bloatware from your Galaxy S10 series, let us take a quick look at the list of pre-requisites that you need to have before you can proceed with the steps:
Make sure that you have ADB and Fastboot installed on your PC. You can check the link here to install the latest ADB tools.
Charge your device to up to 60% to avoid any issues.
You need to enable the USB Debugging option from the Developer Options settings. To do this:
Head over to About Phone>>Baseband & Kernal>>tap on the Build number 7 times.
Then again open Settings>>Developer Options>>enable USB Debugging option.
Steps to Remove Bloatware or Debloat on Galaxy S10, S10 Plus or S10E
Once you have gone through the list of pre-requisites, then you can proceed with the below-mentioned steps to remove the un-necessary preinstalled apps on your Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus or Galaxy S10E:
Instructions
Download and extract the contents of the ADB and Fastboot tools.
Open a command prompt or a PowerShell window in the same folder where you have extracted the contents of the ADB tools.
Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable.
Give USB Debugging permission to the phone, if asked.
To check whether your device is recognized by your PC, enter the below command: adb devices
Now enter: adb shell
Now you can run following commands for the apps that you want to uninstall in the terminal: pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>'
Note in place of <OEM/Carrier/App Name>, you need to copy and paste the name of the app from the above Package Names section.
That’s it!

Brilliant! This is awesome. My s10e unfortunately cannot be OEM unlocked, but at least I remove all the really nasty stuff and have a phone I use.
