How To Debloat Most Android Devices
DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your device.
First steps
First you need to enable Developer Mode. To do so repeatedly click on Build number (usually found in the About Phone menu in settings app) until you see a message saying says "Developer mode has been turned on".
Then enable USB debugging in Developer options (can be found with search inside of settings app). With USB debugging enabled, plug the phone in to your computer (make sure the cable is a data one.)
If anything comes up on the phone, asking to allow USB debugging, make sure to press allow.

UAD Usage
Once you've plugged the phone in and pressed allow, to USB debugging on the phone. You should see UAD load the apps on your phone, you can select random apps and read the description to see if you want to remove it or not.
For apps that deleting can change functionally of the device majorly (like google play) they will be under Expert or Advanced sections found in the drop down menu in the top right of the app.
Removing certain apps can cause problems but UAD will warn you about these and removing any in the recommended section shouldn't break anything.
Removing Google play will cause issues with some apps, like some won't work and some will just give errors. Really all the normal things that happen when you de-Google a phone.
