So you just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon and found that it’s loaded with a number of apps that you aren’t going to use anytime soon. Well, no matter whether you use these apps or not, they will be there to occupy your memory space. Maybe Verizon thought you would use these apps so they put it in there on your device, but the reality is different.
So how would you go about removing this bloatware off your device? Fortunately, one of the talented developers on the XDA Forums has developed a debloater tool that removes all these bloatware apps from your device in a single click. Just run the file and you should be good to go.
