Uninstall default apps

You have every right to argue about the technicalities behind it, but the end result is fair enough.

Didn’t wanted to be the nitpicker ^^, so sorry when my detailed questing annoyed you
I’m often just interested in “how it works” in detail.

And you are 100% right → the result is fair enough. It was just somehow surprising that it is possible with “normal” (non-root) privileges.

The reply in the other thread

@petefoth

… When an app in ‘uninstalled’, the app .apk file is still present in the devices storage …

probably explains that the folder (in /system) is still exists after uninstall - it just keeps the apk.

@Smojo

so sorry

Don’t be. I just wanted to say you were right in noticing that while the command is “uninstall”, it technically perhaps doesn’t quite uninstall. Perhaps worded poorly.
