how to uninstall FOREVER?

[dhworph]

I want to uninstall a bunch of apps, but each app has different kinds of data and cache... and when I uninstall and app and then reinstall it, it seems to 'remember' certain things, which makes me think there are bits of data left on the phone after uninstall.

1) Is this the case?

2) If so, how do I uninstall every bit of data?

Just don't want to junk up the storage with bits and bytes here and there...

I guess this is more of a general android question, but I ask it here in my device forum, since I don't know if there might be differences from ICS/Gnex to other versions/devices...

When you are at the "App info" screen, you should see four buttons active. Click on "Clear cache" and "Clear data" before you click the "Uninstall" button.

I believe this will do what you are asking.

And you can check in your SD card folders to see if any files for that app have been left.

ya, thats what I have been doing... it is a HUGE hassle though, because it often takes several minutes to finish "calculating"... any apps that automate or batch clearing app data and uninstalling?

ok, think I just figured out that titanium backup can do it much more efficiently, without all the "calculating"...

Is it safe to do through titanium? Any one have bad luck with clearing app data and uninstalling through titanium?

I have like 300+ apps and am just trying to get it all paired down to what I use...
