This guide explains how to uninstall system apps, remove bloatware and free up space with Debloater Magisk module. Annoyed by system apps that take precious storage space and can’t be uninstalled? You can use Debloater (Magisk module) to delete them and regain space. Relying on root, this specific module is designed to help users debloat (get rid of pre-installed, unnecessary system apps) their devices.
