uninstalling should not work at all on at least some of those apps, as they will exist on the read-only system partition (that only gets touched when the phone updates).
- andyjohnson0 4y agoIt worked for me. I assume it removes them from the OS's database of installed apps, even though it doesnt remove the executable code.

- andyjohnson0 4y agoYes, I know that and said so in my original post. The point of uninstalling them was to remove them from my experience of using the tablet.
