Through the settings

This variant is suitable for all smartphones based on Android operating system, including Samsung GALAXY S5 mini. For deleting, you need to:

  1. Open settings.
  2. Go to the section «Apps» (might be called differently).
  3. Choose the program.
  4. Push the button «Delete» or «Uninstall».

Further, you only need to confirm uninstallation, and the application will not bother you anymore. Moreover, if this method will not lead you to the desired result, use one of the additional ways, described lower.

  1. Launch Play Store.
  2. Open the list of installed programs or find the app yourself, using the search bar.

Disabling

By default, built-in apps cannot be removed. You can only turn them off:

  1. Go to the settings.
  2. Open apps section.
  3. Choose the program.
  4. Press the button «Force stop».

Full deleting

The way, letting to delete standard programs forever. The truth is that in this case the owner of Samsung GALAXY S5 mini will have to do some note the simplest steps:

  10. In the command line of the computer enter request «pm uninstall -k --user 0 *Package Name*», where put the previously considered information instead of «Package Name».
  11. Press «Enter».
