Xiaomi is notorious for shipping its smartphones with numerous useless apps, often referred to as bloatware. Since such apps are installed as system apps, one can’t uninstall them from the app settings. It’s easy to remove bloatware on Xiaomi, Redmi, Mi, and POCO devices running HyperOS and MIUI via ADB without root.
Recently, I shared a list of secret codes for Xiaomi Redmi devices and the steps to uninstall them without root. Today, we’ll see how to uninstall the pre-installed apps on Xiaomi smartphones using ADB and bloatware removal tools.
Xiaomi Bloatware List (HyperOS)
Here are the app package names of safe-to-remove Xiaomi bloatware so you can uninstall or disable them without worrying about any adverse effects on your smartphone.
Warning: Please note that if you uninstall essential apps like the default launcher, gallery, camera, file manager, etc., you must install a 3rd-party alternative to such apps before you remove them. Also, if you are unsure about the outcome of uninstalling a system app, try disabling it first.

Removing Bloatware on Xiaomi
You can uninstall bloatware on Xiaomi and Redmi devices running HyperOS using ADB commands.
To use ADB, you must download and set up the latest SDK Platform Tools on your computer. You can also use ADB commands on your Xiaomi phone without root if you don’t have a laptop or PC.
- Extract the downloaded ‘platform-tools-latest-windows.zip‘ and open the folder.
- Launch the Command Prompt via the Windows context menu by pressing the Shift key + Right-click button on the mouse.
- Now type the following command in the CMD window and allow USB debugging to authorize ADB when prompted.
adb devices
- If you see the ‘list of attached devices‘ message, it means your Xiaomi or Redmi phone is successfully connected.
- Now, execute the command given below.
-
adb shell
-
- When you get your phone’s codename on the command screen, run the ADB app uninstallation command mentioned below. Don’t forget to replace <package name> with the package name of the system app you want to uninstall, as shown in the screenshot.
pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
adb shell pm uninstall –user 0 - You can delete as many system apps as you want by running the above command one after another.
In case you get any errors after uninstalling any stock app or removing an app by mistake, you can easily reinstall uninstalled apps on MIUI. Alternatively, you can also use ADB AppControl and Shizuku app Canta or Package Manager to manage system apps on Android.
This is all about the safe-to-remove bloatware on MIUI 14 and HyperOS. If you have any doubts or questions, let me know.
