Clean up your Android tablet with AVG Uninstaller

AVG is well known to PC users and the company produces security software like AVG Antivirus, which is very popular indeed, particularly the free version.

The company also has a free utility for Android users and if you have a phone or a tablet you might want to head on over to the Google Play Store and grab a copy of AVG Uninstaller. It's free.

All Android phones and tablets have built in facilities for uninstalling apps of course, but which apps should you uninstall?

AVG Uninstaller makes the decision easier to make by enabling you view a list of apps in different ways. For example, you can view a list of apps sorted by usage (you need to use your phone or tablet for a week or two to build up the usage data). This will highlight the apps that you haven't used for a long time and could therefore be uninstalled. After all, if you don't use an app you aren't going to miss it.

You can also view a list of apps apps sorted by battery usage. If you are having problems with the battery draining far too quickly, you might want to uninstall those apps that use the battery the most. It will extend the life of your phone or tablet between charges.

Apps can also be viewed by data usage, which is important if you use the phone or tablet on 3G. (It's less important on Wi-Fi because it's free unless your ISP imposes a very low bandwidth limit.) Those apps that are consuming the most bandwidth should be the first to be uninstalled if you frequently exceed or get close to your bandwidth limit.

The final sorting method is by app size and this is useful if you are running short of memory on the device. It enables you to find out which apps are using the most memory and remove them.

With each of these app lists you can select one or more apps using tick boxes and then uninstall them with a tap. It is simple, but effective.
