The dev tools for Android (adb) are really nice for uninstalling apps that cannot be removed from Settings > Apps. I just removed 23 locked pre-installed apps from my Samsung phone. More or less all of them have been disabled for ages, so it is clear that they are not needed.
Bixby and the AR emoji suite were a ton of apps on their own, and they're all gone now. I also got rid of all the Google apps I don't use and had blocked, like Maps, GMail and YouTube.
