Hi

Since no one reads this bit of the OP, let's get to it. Credit to Cloudxddd for posting the sd card fix in another thread.

Enable ADB shell

On your Tablet:

Open the settings app

Scroll down to 'About tablet'

Select 'Software information'

Continuously tap on 'Build number' over and over until at the bottom of the screen you see a toast saying "Developer mode has been enabled"

Go back to the main settings page and scroll down, select the new 'Developer options' button

Enable 'USB debugging' (press OK to confirm)

On Ubuntu:

Install ADB: sudo apt install adb

Plug your tablet into your PC via USB

Start ADB and check your device is connected: adb devices (if more than one device is listed, unplug your second android phone/tablet

You may need to approve the connection on your tablet

Run ADB shell: adb shell

Remove stock apps (bloatware)

In ADB shell (see above):

List the apps installed: pm list packages

Removing some apps will cause your tablet to brick (fixed by doing a factory reset from the recovery menu), so be careful

Search APK Mirror for the package name if you don't know what app you're looking at

To uninstall an app from your user but keep it on the device: pm uninstall -k --user 0 <packagename>

Reboot the device to ensure it can boot successfully: reboot

Reply below with the apps you removed and whether it was successful / safe

Reinstall that app: cmd package install-existing <package name> (or do a factory reset if it failed)

Completely remove the app and reclaim the space if you're certain it can be removed safely: pm uninstall <packagename>

Reboot the device to ensure it can boot successfully: reboot

Note: Some apps reinstall when you reboot.
