How do I completely uninstall YouTube?

Answered by James Kissner

To completely uninstall YouTube from your Android device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device. You can usually find it by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon or by locating the Settings app in your app drawer.

2. Once you’re in the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the “Apps” or “Applications” option. The exact wording may vary depending on your device, but it should be something similar.

3. Tap on “Apps” to open the list of all the installed apps on your device.

4. In the list of apps, scroll down and find “YouTube.” It should be listed alphabetically, so you might need to look for it a bit. Once you find it, tap on it to open the YouTube app settings.

5. Inside the YouTube app settings, you should see options like “Force stop,” “Storage,” and “Permissions.” Look for the “Uninstall” button or option. It might be represented by a trash can icon or simply labeled as “Uninstall.”

6. Tap on the “Uninstall” button and confirm your decision when prompted. This will completely remove the YouTube app from your device.

Please note that the steps mentioned above may vary slightly depending on the version of Android you’re using and the customized user interface of your device. However, the general process should be similar.

Keep in mind that uninstalling YouTube will remove the app and all its associated data from your device. If you decide to reinstall it in the future, you will need to download it again from the Google Play Store or any other trusted source.

Uninstalling YouTube may also affect any linked accounts or settings associated with the app. If you have any important data or preferences within the YouTube app, make sure to back them up or take note of them before uninstalling.

I hope this guide helps you completely uninstall YouTube from your Android device. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
