Lesson notes
Manage the app itself without confusing it with a shortcut or a document.
- For a file that opens in the wrong app, go to Settings > Apps > Default apps. Search its ending, such as .pdf, then choose an installed app you want to use.
- To remove an app, go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps. Check its name, then choose More > Uninstall.
- Save projects and protect any app-specific data before confirming removal.
Deleting an app’s desktop shortcut usually does not uninstall it. Some built-in apps cannot be removed, and some programs have separate uninstall instructions.
