uninstalling should not work at all on at least some of those apps, as they will exist on the read-only system partition (that only gets touched when the phone updates).

It worked for me. I assume it removes them from the OS's database of installed apps, even though it doesnt remove the executable code.

I wrote some notes at https://andyjohnson.uk/blog/2021/07/17/cleaning-up-a-samsung...

The APK for the apps you 'uninstalled' via the 'pm uninstall' command still exist in the system/product/system_ext/etc partitions, that's why they still take up space.

Yes, I know that and said so in my original post.

The point of uninstalling them was to remove them from my experience of using the tablet.
