I didnβt know where else to ask, but my phone seems to default to the AOSP default βFilesβ app and I do not use Samsungβs version. I want to remove it via ADB, but I fear data loss/file deletion. I have come here as a last resort as I can find this nowhere online.
Ooo! Oooo! I have the same questions! Thereβs so much shit on Samsung phones that you canβt disable, much less uninstall. Is there a wiki somewhere about whatβs safe to remove? I use almost none of the Samsung apps, but something inevitably tries to open one instead of my chosen default. And they always reset the permissions whenever they update, so you constantly have you go through and disable them. Updating will still reinstall them, but thatβd still be automatable and easier.

This is what I use
Does it answer OPβs question? There are several tools for removing bloat; the question is whether itβs safe to do so, and will it break anything?
I think so I used it only on fresh device, but in Linux file system personal data and app data are separated.
