How to Disable Pre-Installed Apps
Some apps can’t be uninstalled, but you can disable them:

- Sort apps by size to find space-hogging apps
- Consider disabling instead of uninstalling if you might need the app later
- Some apps leave data behind – clear this in Settings > Apps

Remember: Be careful when uninstalling system apps as some are important for your phone to function properly.
