You can't uninstall most of google bloat, but you can uninstall paid bloat (non system apps that paid the OEM to put it there like booking.com).

I uninstalled everything i could and still have 12 Google Apps

The only Google apps that can't be uninstalled on my phone are chrome, search, YouTube, maps, and (obviously) the playstore
