Uninstalling apps on android tablet...

I want to 'de-bloat' and free up more memory... but when I go to settings all that's on offer is 'disable'. Anyone know what to do?

    Many system (and Google) apps cannot be removed. Any that can be will have an uninstall button. Disabling them should stop them from working in the background and slowing the system down.
