Step 1: Open Settings

Tap on the Settings icon on your home screen or swipe down from the top and tap the little gear icon to open the Settings menu.

Step 2: Tap on Apps

In the Settings menu, you'll see a list of options. Tap on the one called "Apps." This will show you all the apps you have installed on your phone.

Step 3: Locate the App You Want to Delete

Now comes the fun part - browsing through all your apps! Flip through the list until you find whichever app you want to get rid of. Once you locate it, tap on the app's icon or name.

Step 4: Select Uninstall

Tapping on the app will open up a screen with details about that app. At the bottom you'll see a button that says "Uninstall." Go ahead and tap on that.

Step 5: Confirm Deletion

A popup will appear asking if you "Want to uninstall this app?" Tap on the "OK" button to confirm that yes, you do in fact want to delete it.

And that's it - with just those few taps in the Settings menu you've uninstalled an app from your Samsung device! Now you've freed up some storage space and got rid of an app you no longer need.

Part 2: How To Delete Apps on Samsung Using The Home Screen

Having too many apps crowded on your Samsung home screen can make things feel cluttered. When it's time to do some tidying up, you can easily delete apps right from your home screen with just a few taps. Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Locate the App on Your Home Screen

Browse through all the app icons on your home screen to find the one you want to delete. It could be anywhere - on the main home screen, swipe screens, or in the app tray.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Icon

Once you've located the app you want to remove, press and hold your finger down on its icon. Don't lift your finger yet!

Step 3: Wait for Options to Appear

Keep holding down on the icon. After about 2 seconds, you'll see the icon start to wiggle and an "X" will appear in the top corner.

Step 4: Drag Icon to "X"

Still keeping your finger pressed, use it to drag the jiggling icon up toward the top of the screen where you see the "X."

Step 5: Lift Your Finger

When the icon turns into a trash can, lift your finger. This will delete the app!

It's easy to accidentally drag the icon instead of holding it down. If that happens, just let go and try again, pressing and holding slowly. Once you get the timing right, the uninstall option will pop up.
