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.

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.
