If you are interested in your Android device's interaction with the command line, you may want to learn some of the techniques used to uninstall an app installed on your device using ADB. In order for this method to work, you will need to set up Android ADB in your computer. You can go to see how the "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and "ADB" (Android Debug Bridge) are installed using the two texts. In addition, your Android device must be able to be recognized by your computer, which naturally involves the installation of Android USB drive.

For uninstalling an application through ADB, you must know the package name of the application, and at this point, you should note that this is not necessarily an app's apk file name, such as the Yahoo! Mail Android terminal app, Its package name may be yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail. If you do not know the package name of the application, you can quickly summon a list of packages installed on your Android device via a command line (which will be used later in the following), as long as you look at the relevant name slowly.
