How To Unistall Apps I Don't Want - Android

[ToraToraTora]

I have several apps on the phone and they seem to be determined that I cannot remove them. eg facebook for example jusy won't unistall no matter what I do. Any idea how you can force removal?

Which phone is it? On mine there is an option "storage sense" and that gives you the option to uninstall most apps.

If the Facebook app came pre-installed on your phone then you won't be able to remove it unless you root your phone (which removes the restrictions placed on the operating system by the manufacturer). It's a safe enough process but it will almost certainly invalidate your warranty:

Aye, I have a number of apps I'd like to remove as they aren't used, but they tend to be the ones Google insist I have to have. I suspect I might root the phone when the warranty ends. I don't trust being able to unroot it should a problem come along before then.

Note the phone maker, like say Samsung, may also add apps to the phone and often these cant be uninstalled.

In fact I gather Google (who make Android) are annoyed at Samsung for adding extra apps on top of Android, often ones which duplicate function already in Android.
