If not buying a phone that comes with these preinstalled wasn't the first option you picked, then ADB is your friend.

  • Install Android Platform Tools on your PC
  • Enable USB debugging in Androids' developer options
  • Connect phone to PC via USB
  • Open terminal, type adb devices
  • Authorize the connection from your phone
  • Type adb shell, and now you can wreak havoc on your phone

so only continue if you know what the hell you're doing

To uninstall an app, type
pm uninstall --user 0 *package name*

For example,
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.services

Should you uninstall something by accident, you can reinstall by using
cmd package install-existing *package name*

I'd also recommend the universal android debloater. makes the whole process quite easy.
