One of the easiest ways to remove bloatware from any android device and this method requires a PC. You can load and save the presets, install APK files in your phone and manage other important android functions.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This method also requires an additional application known as AC BRIDGE to be installed in your phone. So, when you start this software in your PC, it will ask you to install this application, please go ahead and do that.

Once you are done with debloating, delete AC BRIDGE from your phone.
