You need to give certain permissions to apps to work properly. For example, some apps need your location to give location-related information like flight ticket booking, navigation, hotel search, etc. Is it necessary to revert the permission given to an app at the time of uninstalling or after uninstalling? Read on to get the answer and also I will let you know how to remove permission given to uninstalled Android apps.
Is it necessary to revert the permission given to uninstalled Android Apps?
In general speaking, there is no such need to revert the permission given to an app after uninstalling it. Because the permission you gave is only for the app. Without the app residing on your phone, there is no effect of the permission given. But you can apply a clean-up strategy, even after uninstalling the app, to make your device or connected account clutter-free.
Clean Up Strategy to Remove Permission Given to Uninstalled Android Apps
Select the app which you wish to uninstall from the settings and clear the “data” and “cache”. Then only perform the uninstall.
If you forgot to do so, don’t worry! There are apps to do the task for you! All your uninstalled Android apps’ leftover data can be wiped out instantly using free apps. Use ES File Explorer, it’s my suggestion as it is a multipurpose file manager app. It has a cleaner. Run the cleaner which you can find on the home screen of ES File Explorer.
Select “residual junk” with your other cleaning option prior to performing your clean to remove the leftover app data.
