I skipped removing Google items. Yet I am seeing this void space at the left-most home screen. This is the place where news and all shows on a stock android.
What thing am I missing?

Is that a Poco X3 "Karna"? For other phones I am not really sure 🤷‍♂️

I did this on a Redmi 9A. 🙄

I'll need to know your device's stock packages before I can note what are missing 🤔

How did you find it for your Poco?

Use the command 👇

adb shell pm list packages

to get a list of all installed packages when the phone is in the stock state (that's when no third-party apps are installed). Then research for each package name and what it does and determine if it's bloatware 🙂
