2.Touch the DOWNLOADED tab.

3.Touch the app you want to uninstall.

4.Touch the Uninstall button.

A pop-up displays the message Application will be uninstalled.

5.Touch OK to confirm you want to uninstall the app.

You can also use Google Play to uninstall apps you downloaded from there (see “Play Store” on page 89).

Tip: To uninstall updates to pre-installed apps, touch the app and touch Uninstall updates. A pop-up displays the message All updates to this Android system app will be uninstalled. Touch OK to uninstall the updates.
