Now is the time to start uninstalling pre-installed applications. It is worth mentioning that this process works on Xiaomi mobile phones with versions of MIUI 11 and MIUI 12 based on Android 9, Android 10 or Android 11. That said, we'll look at the steps to remove bloatware in MIUI:
- Connect your mobile to your computer with the USB cable.
- On your mobile, choose the “File Transfer” option from the pop-up menu that will appear after connecting the cable.

- Write and execute the command "adb devices", to check if the device is correctly identified - its identification code should appear in the command window. Hopefully, a menu will appear on your mobile phone screen that you must accept to authorize the computer to make changes.
- Now run the "adb shell" command.
- You can now uninstall or disable applications. Depending on what you want to do, you need to execute one command or another:
- Uninstall app: pm uninstall –user 0 app.package.name
- Disable app: pm disable-user app.package.name
In any case, you need to enter the package name corresponding to the application you want to disable or uninstall. Keep in mind that some apps are essential for the proper functioning of the operating system and removing them can cause reboot loops or serious problems, which could force you to reinstall your entire operating system.
