I've noticed with a lot of cleaning app's they leave behind unused folders and files of app's that have since been removered and started up a small graveyard so to speak of these app's and their directories...
Is there an app that will inspect your installed app's and then clean and free up space according to what's installed and what's uninstalled but left behind?
Thanks

Do you have root access? Then maybe with a root app uninstaller like Clean Master, there's a few others out there, then a root explorer and delete the left over folders and then running something like SD Maid to clean up what might've been left behind.

Thanks, yea I've been using this for quite awhile, some other options I don't get really but Corpse Finder is pretty good. I wish there was just a corpse finder app all by itself, sometimes I find myself not needing all those extra features.

I do not have ROOT phone, I was the root application using Clean Master, but inside my phone program and can not uninstall it, can uninstall my own installed programs.

Yea in order to uninstall system apps you need to root your phone.
System Apps - Preinstalled by the Rom/Firmware
User Apps - Apps you install yourself

I used the BlueMonkey theme by Jivy26, however I didn't like the GoSMSPro. I deleted the app via titanium backup, and used File Explorer to confirm it was deleted. However, it still shows up as being installed in the market place and I have the icon in my app list (although it says the application is not installed on my phone) How do I manusally remove the icon from the app list?

I guess the best thing to do is to reinstall the app and uninstall from the task manager or go to settings-applications and uninstall from there.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
i have tried that actually...it just uninstalls forever, and never actually deletes it.

Make sure that the app is not running in the background or as a service.
Reboot the phone and go into settings>applications>running
services and see if you can find the offending app there.
If you can find it there, click on it and select STOP".
Then if all goes well you will be able to do a complete unistall.
Not running as a service =\ Is there a place where those icons are located on the phone itself? I could delete it through root explorer if I could find it.

icons for applications are stored within the apk itself....if the apk is gone, the app is gone.
try uninstalling them and then wipe cache/dalvik cache in CWM

If you know how to use root explorer to delete files
you can go into root of phone /system/apps and find
the offending APK name and delete with root explorer.
Some apps will have a "com." before the actual app name
so look for that too.
Good luck!
Hello guys.
I want to know if there is a way that I can completely uninstall an application from phone system. And I don't mean the default uninstall.
After an uninstall there are always some app's files left behind. How can I find them and delete them? Or is there an application that we can uninstall all the files of a game for example with just clicking "uninstall"??
Thanks for your help
Try SD Maid from play store.
And look at system/app for .odex files from apps you have removed.
Which sometimes remain behind.
"Debloater" from market removes all app files also dalvik.just press yes to reboot after deleting system apps and all is gone..
without root???

is there a chance that i can do it without rooting my device?
So I noticed an app called Joyn in my Applications Manager which I have not downloaded. This app doesn't appear in my app drawer. I had a quick search around and found that Joyn is an app that enhances voice quality and allows wifi calls and chats. My S3 is not the 4G version however which leaves me a little confused. What is this app used?
It's a rubbish Samsung app
Found it on my S3 too after trying to hunt down what was causing my phone to hang. But no way to remove it.

An app to look at files and delete. File explorer, root explorer, solid explorer, etc. Browse to system/apps find the apk and delete. An alternative is to use adb and commands.

They are putting to much rubbish on the phone that no one is using, there
must be a section somewhere so you can download the applications
if you want.

I forgot to mention the rom cleaner, you can use it with recovery. I think it is in the original android dev section, you would have to search. Anyway, the cleaner has a list of apps to remove, plus you can customize it too remove other apps or not remove apps it pre-selects.
If you ever find you have deleted an app you need just extract it from the firmware you flashed.
My Buddy wanted me to debloat his T-Mobile S5 so I went ahead and did the usual but I accidentally uninstalled an antivirus app that had administrative rights and now there is a ghost app in his drawer. I did not bother creating a backup as I had no intentions of reinstalling it. I know I can hide the app using xposed framework but wanted to delete it entirely.
Thanks.
have u tried to reinstall the app?

Always make a backup. Taking shortcuts like that put your friend's data at unnecessary risk and caused your current problem.
You didn't give is any details of whether Titanium is able to cleanup the mess? If not, then try fixing it by reinstalling the antivirus so that it is then stable enough to uninstall in the conventional manner.

The play store recognizes the app as still installed and only gives me the option to deactivate the app. When I do that it force closes.

Agreed on the shortcuts.
I was not aware that titanium may be able to clean it up. I'll research it. As far as the app goes, I responded to that above.
Thanks to the both of you

If the phone is rooted or if you temporarily root it, you can delete the antivirus app with a file explorer (or from the commamd line).

You should find the antivirus app in one of these directories:
/data/app/name.apk
/system/app/name.apk
/system/priv-app/name.apk
.
If you are tired to get free space although you deleted large videos on your android, then you need to delete APKs that automatically stored on your android every time you install or upgrade your applications.

Suggesting 360 security for deleting APKs is not a good thing.... I think you should have suggest a good explorer like MiXplorer

You can use also, but 260 security is built in recent Samsung phones
