How to completely remove a game from an Android phone

Deleting a game can be useful when a person is bored with the game, has completed it and needs to free up space on his phone. It turns out that you can delete an application or game on an Android phone in several ways, which are worth discussing in more detail below.

Games sometimes take up a really large amount of space in the phone’s memory, because of this, after completing it, it is necessary to remove the utilities so that they not only do not take up space, but also free it up for other interesting games.

How to delete a game from your phone by dragging it to the trash

Everyone knows this method, it is really popular, as it is the simplest and most basic for every user. The algorithm of actions is simple:

The user needs to find on the main screen of the phone the application that he would like to delete;
Next, you need to hold down its icon so that it starts flying, and a special basket with the caption “Delete” appears in the upper screen;
Move the icon to this basket and confirm the deletion action.

Everything is quite simple and easy, but the only drawback is that on most models of phones or tablets on the Android system, this method helps to remove only the icon, and not the entire application.

If there is a way to delete using system settings, which we will discuss later, then it is worth using it.

This method also rarely uses the application cache, that is, residual files may remain on the phone even after destruction by dragging the icon to the trash.

Method 3: Uninstalling applications from Android through the settings menu.

Another simple way to remove applications is through the settings menu, where the user can also clear the cache, data, stop and disable programs. To do this, you need to open the appropriate section of your smartphone or tablet and select “Applications”. Next, select the unnecessary utility from the list and click the appropriate button in the window that appears.

It is worth noting that stopping the program is a temporary measure, and if necessary, the operating system will load the program into memory again. And system applications cannot be deleted without root rights (administrator rights), so all that remains is to disable the application. The program will disappear from the application menu, but will continue to function if necessary for the operation of the operating system.

Main advantages:

To delete, you do not need internet or a Google account.
A way to stop and disable programs. Ability to clean and delete the application.
Information about used disk space.

Main disadvantages:

Batch deleting applications is not supported.
You cannot delete the standard application, even if you get root.

How to completely remove a game from your phone through system settings

The second method is the most correct - deletion through the phone settings. This method is not only optimal and fast, but it also deletes any system cache that may have accumulated on the device.

Many users don’t know how to remove programs even this way, so it’s worth talking about the algorithm:

First, the user needs to find the settings that he has on his phone. As a rule, they are located on the start screen. They resemble a gear on a gray background. Having found them, we move on;
After this, the user needs to find the “Applications” section, which is responsible for the operation of the installed utilities;
Now the user can see all the utilities that are installed on his device. Select and click on the one that needs to be destroyed;
All information about the program opens. Click on the “Delete” button, which is located to the right of the “Stop” button;
We confirm the action and delete the program.

To improve this method and make sure that there is no data left on the device about the program used, you can do this:

Having gone to the program and information about it, we find the “Stop” button, click on it;
After that, we only delete the program that we need to erase.

In this way, the user can erase all the remaining garbage that was on his phone from this plugin. Everything is quite simple and easy. More details about this method can be seen in this video.

Many commands may differ for different smartphone models.

How to delete a game from an Android phone using the Google Play service

You can also use the special Google Play service, through which the game was downloaded, which the user does not currently need. Yes, you can do this through the Play Market. It not only downloads games, but also deletes them, and you can also view more detailed information about them.

Note! To use this method, you first need the Internet, as well as authorization in a special utility. You can see how to log in to the Play Store in this video.

The steps are also simple even for beginners:

The user must launch the Google Play program and scroll the screen to the right. The program menu opens, where you can also see the user profile;
After this, you need to find the “My applications and games” section, which opens the user with information about installed programs;
Click on this section and go to the “Installed” tab, which is responsible for all the programs that we need;
Next, the user selects the game that he would like to erase from his phone;
Goes to its page and sees the “Delete” and “Update” buttons. If the user is sure that he will no longer need the program, then he needs to click on the “Delete” button;
Now you need to confirm the action with the “ok” button. Once the process is complete, the device will no longer have this game.

This method uses the Internet, so sometimes it is not convenient to use.

If the program cannot be removed, then it is systemic. System utilities cannot be removed, as this can cause serious problems in the operation of the device.

Clearing the cache is a reliable way to fix the application on your tablet.

I don’t know for what reason, but the operation of deleting the cache has already helped me several times when the application constantly crashes. I won’t undertake to explain the technical part of the solution, but I will say that deleting the application cache does not carry any threat of losing your information. All saves and settings will remain in effect.

It will reduce its productivity and work very slowly. To avoid this, you need to do a “general” cleaning of the device once every 2 weeks.

Very easy. Social networks constantly accumulate cache, which must be cleared through the phone settings.

Yes. They really help optimize the phone's performance, making it cleaner and much faster.

The second way is using third-party applications

Using special applications. For example Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, SystemApp Remover. All such applications require ROOT rights! You install one of the applications, launch it, and then delete whatever you want through the built-in application manager. This way you can remove applications built into the system or firmware . By the way, many sophisticated file managers have similar functionality.
