Tutorial on How to remove all unwanted apps in Mi/Poco phones!!

 Xiaomi phones do provide us with the best value phone but this comes with a compromise. Some lower end Mi/Redmi/Poco phones come with a lot of preinstalled apps with some which we can't even uninstall.

So here's an easy guide with the help of which you can remove all the bloatware (including GetApps, scanner) from your phone.

Requirements

To remove all the waste apps you just need a laptop/pc and a data cable.

Setup to be done on the phone -

1) First you need to enable USB debugging on your phone. To do so first click 6-7 times on the MIUI version on your phone .


2)Then a pop-up saying You are now a developer pops up , meaning that now you can access developer option.

3)In the Additional settings , you will now find a new option "Developer Options" , click on it.


4)In it, you will see a toggle for USB debugging , just enable it.


Setup to be done on the PC

1) In order to remove junk apps, we need to install 2 applications which i have provided below  ( Note that the Xiaomi ADB is common between windows, mac , linux but the .jar file is different for all 3)-

.jar file - Windows , Mac , linux

Xiaomi ADB -ADB file

2) After downloading both the files, you have to install .jar file which is a very straight forward process.


3) After installing .jar file, connect you phone to your PC using your data cable. Select the file transfer option on your phone after connecting the cable.

4) After connecting the phone, open the Xiaomi ADB application.
 Here you will see a list of applications installed on your phone. 

5) Select all the applications you want to remove and then click on uninstall.

Voila!! All the unwanted apps are gone. 

6) Also there is a list of all the uninstalled apps, so if the phone doesn't work properly after removing the apps, it means you have removed an important application.



Here is a list of applications you can remove -
Cleaner
GetApps
Mi Calender
Mi cloud
Mi credit 
Mi drop
Mi Pay
Mi share
Music

Do note that after updating your phone, these apps will return, so i would recommend you not to remove this software from your machine. It would hardly take a few seconds to remove these apps later on.
