In this guide, we will show you the steps to debloat/remove bloatware from the OnePlus 9 Pro. Even though the merger between ColorOS and OxygenOS has been canceled, but the real picture is right in front of us. With the twelfth iteration of the OS build, the entire ecosystem had been taken over by Oppo’s ColorOS and you would be lucky enough to find any elements of the in-house OxygenOS. Then came the OxygenOS 13 update and with that, our devices were completely “Oppodified”.
Apart from the sub-par UI experience, the device is now filled with tons of unnecessary bloatware apps that were would hardly ever interact with. To make matter worse, these apps are treated as system apps and hence you wouldn’t be able to remove them the native way. Fortunately, you could still debloat and remove bloatware from your OnePlus 9 Pro using ADB Commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that.

Debloat/Remove Bloatware OnePlus 9 Pro via ADB [Android 13]
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow the same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging
Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging on your device so that it is recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System Settings > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.
STEP 3: Establish ADB Shell Connection
- To begin with, connect your device to the PC via USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
- Then head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
- Now in the following command in the CMD window to verify the ADB connection. If you get the device ID, then the connection stands successful.
adb devices
- Now type in the below command to open the Shell environment:
adb shell
- It will now list out your device codename, which means that the shell connection has been successfully established as well, and you are good to go ahead to debloat or remove bloatware from your OnePlus 9 Pro.
STEP 4: Debloat/Remove Bloatware from OnePlus 9 Pro
- First and foremost, execute the below command to get the list of all the apps installed and their package names [the bloatware output list has been shared below as well]:
pm list packages
- Now, the generic command to uninstall any bloatware from a device is:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 PackageName
- For example, if I want to remove the Heytap Accessory with package name com.heytap.cloud, then its removal command will be:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.heytap.cloud
- In the same manner, you may now remove the desired bloatware apps from your OnePlus 9 Pro.
