Step 3: Drag the application icon to the bin or bar labeled as uninstall.

Step 4: A pop up with an Ok prompt appears, click on it ‘OK’ and the application is removed.

Deleting the application from the Application drawer or Tablet Home screen is easy, but you will not know how much space you have saved after deleting or how much of the processor the application was using.

To know this and choose  the one that consumes most space and RAM, you need to remove apps through the free space option.
