For those that recently bought a Sony Xperia XZ, it comes with preloaded apps called bloatware. You may want to know how delete bloatware from the Xperia XZ to create extra storage space. But it’s important to note, that when you remove and disable bloatware from the Xperia XZ, you don’t get that much more extra space on the smartphone to install other apps.
It’s possible to remove Xperia XZ bloatware including any of Google apps like Gmail, Google+, Play Store and others. Also you can remove bloatware apps like Sony’s apps S Health, S Voice and others.

  2. Open the app drawer and select the edit button
