How to Remove Bloatware

You can safely remove these apps by referring to our complete How to Debloat Xiaomi HyperOS tutorial. The removal process needs either ADB (Android Debug Bridge) commands or specialized debloat software that doesn’t involve root access.

Important: Uninstall the default file explorer (com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer) only after you’ve got an alternate file manager to ensure that a gap in functionality does not arise.

For the most convenient method to handle system applications and access hidden capabilities, you can download our MemeOS Enhancer application from the Play Store. This tool not only assists in deleting bloatware but also allows access to hidden Xiaomi settings, system application updates, as well as screen update management.
