adb-uninstall

Uninstall an application

$ adb uninstall [com.example.app]

$ adb uninstall -k [com.example.app]

adb uninstall [-k] package

adb uninstall removes an installed Android application from the device. The package is specified by its full package name (e.g., com.example.app), not the APK filename.
By default, uninstalling removes the app along with all its data, cache, and associated files. Use the -k flag to preserve application data.

-k

Keep data and cache directories after uninstallation

Full package name of the application to remove

System applications cannot be uninstalled without root access or using adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0. The package name is case-sensitive. Pre-installed apps may be disabled instead of fully removed.

adb uninstall has been available since the initial Android SDK release in 2008, providing a simple way to remove applications during development and testing.
