On your android device enter Developer mode repeatedly Build number untill it says "Developer mode has been turned on".
Then enable USB debugging in Developer options. Plug the phone in to your computer (make sure the cable is a data one)
Then if anything comes up asking to allow USB debuging, make sure to allow it.
UAD is an easy to use GUI program that gives you not only nice interface to select and delete alot of the bloat on your android device, but also gives descriptions on most of them telling you what they, are and what they are known to do.
From this link enter the Assets drop down and click to download the right version of the program for your computer's OS.
https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/releases
then just run the executable.
Once you've plug the phone in and pressed allow USB debug on the phone's screen. You should see UAD load the apps on your phone, you can select random apps and read the description to see if you want to remove it or not.
For apps that deleting can change functionally of the device majorly like google play they will be under Expert or Advanced sections found in the drop down menu in the top right, that should be on recomended by default.
Removeing certain apps can cause problems but UAD will warn you about these and removing any in recommended shouldn't break anything. Removing Some like Google play will cause issues with some apps, like some won't work and some will give errors, bascily all the normal things that happen when you de-Google a phone.
