Uninstall "Samsung Free" (formerly Samsung Daily)

uninstall-samsung-free.md

1. On a desktop/laptop, download and unzip Android Platform Tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. On phone, Enable developer mode by tapping seven times on the build number (found under Settings > About Phone > Software Information).
3. Connect phone to computer via USB
4. On phone, enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer Options)
5. Open a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) and navigate to the platform-tools directory
   • e.g. cd C:\Users\myuser\Downloads\platform-tools
6. Copy into the terminal ./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage and hit enter
7. The terminal should output "Success"

Samsung Free should now be gone from your phone and swiping left will no longer accidentally open it.

What worked like a charm? I get the following error when I copy this (./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage) into command prompt:
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What did you do to fix it?

Interesting.

If I directly do pm uninstall com.samsung.android.app.spage, it fails with an error of "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]". Not sure why options like "-k --user 0" can do the magic.

Thank you dude. It worked for me.

-k is to keep app data in case you reinstall, --user 0 is for admin privilges. wheter to do adb or ./adb depends on your configuration
