Open the apps drawer. Find the app that you want to uninstall. Tap and hold the app and drag it to the Uninstall button. Where you drag the app may differ depending on your device. If you don’t see Uninstall or you only see Uninstall updates, the selected app can't be permanently removed from your device. On the Programs tab of the Properties dialog box, specify the command line to uninstall the application in the Uninstall program field. Deploy the application, and then select the deployment action Uninstall on the Deployment Settings page of the Deploy Software Wizard.

It's possible to uninstall an app using the Android settings rather than the app drawer. Here's how: Open Settings. Select Apps & Notifications See all X apps (the X is the number of apps currently installed on the device). Select the app you wish to uninstall. Select Uninstall. Confirm you want to uninstall the app. To uninstall a program, use the “apt-get” command, which is the general command for installing programs and manipulating installed programs. For example, the following command uninstalls gimp and deletes all the configuration files, using the “ - purge” (there are two dashes before “purge”) command. Sudo apt-get - purge remove gimp.
