These two flags respectively specify the system app will only be uninstalled for the current user (and not all users, which is something that requires root access) and that the cache/data of the system application will be preserved (which can’t be removed without root). ![]() That’s why, if you omit the -user 0 and -k part of the uninstall command, the command won’t work. They are just being uninstalled for the current user (user 0 is the default/main user of the phone). This works because applications truly aren’t fully uninstalled from your device. If you’ve deleted an app by mistake or a secondary app is force closing because it’s dependant on an app you uninstalled, you can re-install the app using the following set of commands: adb shellpm install-existing NameOfPackage Give them a shot if you are having trouble with ADB command execution, although setting up ADB and executing commands yourself is a nice skill to have in the world of Android.

If you’re using a Mac, launch a Terminal window and navigate to the ADB directory using cd (without the angular brackets).Hold the Shift key and right-click on the name of the directory and select Open command/PowerShell window here.
