Question
I still have unwanted apps in my menu in the android emulator. The projects which have been deleted from the workspace are there on the emulator. How do I clean the emulator?
Solution
The easiest way is just to launch the emulator, go to settings -> applications
. Then pick the unwanted applications and uninstall them.
Alternatively you can do adb -e shell
while the emulator is running, find the .apk files in the file system (I think they're under /system/apps) and remove them manually.
One final solution is in Eclipse's Android Plugin (ADT), go to the file manager, find the .apk files and remove them.
OTHER TIPS
If you want to delete/uninstall unwanted apps from the android emulator just follow these steps:
- Click and hold the app you want to delete/uninstall from the emulator.
- You will be presented home screen with "Uninstall option on the top.
- Drag and drop your app on Uninstall that's it the app is uninstalled from the emulator.
I prefer delete emulator and create newest. It takes only one minute.
