Samsung has partnerships with a number of other companies to pre-install various apps and services on smartphones and tablets they sell to the public

Thankfully, Android enables us to use a simple ADB Shell command to uninstall this bloatware for the current user account (which is yours). These are gone until you perform a factory reset (or reinstall them) and will not use any of your smartphone’s resources (battery, CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.)
