Recently, we published our first impressions on the Poco M2 Pro and found that Xiaomi is still integrating the dodgy Clean Master app on MIUI — even after the app has been banned by the Indian government. That is not all, the Cleaner app also uploads the filename and location information to Clean Master’s servers. It does not stop there. The Cleaner app has got all the sensitive permissions and there is no way to revoke them. Frankly, this kind of shady behavior is not just limited to MIUI but also extends to Realme UI and Color OS. Not to mention, even brands like Samsung integrates Chinese services like Qihoo 360 on its Device Care app. So if you want to uninstall the Cleaner app from MIUI, RealmeUI, and ColorOS, follow our simple guide.
- First and foremost, set up ADB on your computer. We have written a detailed guide for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS. So no matter which computer you are using, you can easily install ADB by following our tutorial.
adb shell
- If you are running some other Android skin then you can find the package name of the Cleaner app by installing the Package Viewer app (Free). This is how you can execute the command to uninstall a Cleaner app.
