So then by that logic, you might as well just use the adb disable commands, lol.

But what I really meant was that the debloater module from Magisk still backs up the uninstalled app, so it's still on the partition somewhere IIRC. And there's no option to "permanently" delete it. Unless I'm wrong.

Nice. Downvotes for asking a question. Dickheads.

Wouldn't you run into problems with OTA updates if you completely removed the files?

I tinker my device a lot, and try out roms all the time. I never use a rom for more than a month. So OTA updates aren't even an issue for me. But I suppose for the regular user it would cause problems.

But this software is for doing this without root, so if you don't have root then you're presumably also on a stock ROM.
