Uninstall WPS Office for Fire Tablet
WPS Office, a popular application, allows Fire Tablet users to create, edit, and view documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDF files. While the app can be useful for work, school, or personal projects, there may come a time when you no longer need it on your device. Perhaps you want to free up storage space, fix app-related issues, switch to a different office suite, or simply remove apps that you no longer use.
Whether you own a Fire HD 8, Fire HD 10, Fire 7, or another Fire Tablet model, the steps mentioned below help you safely uninstall WPS Office.
Let’s do this!
Uninstall WPS Office for Fire Tablet
To uninstall WPS Office on a Fire Tablet, open Settings, tap Apps & Notifications or Apps & Games, select Manage All Applications, choose WPS Office, and tap Uninstall. Confirm the removal when prompted. The app will be deleted from your Fire Tablet, freeing up storage space and removing its associated app data from the device.
Step 1: Open the Settings App
The first step is to access the Settings menu on your Fire Tablet. The Settings app is where you can manage device preferences, applications, storage, security options, and more.
Begin by unlocking your Fire Tablet and going to the Home screen. Look for the gear-shaped icon labeled Settings. Depending on your Fire OS version, the icon may appear on the Home screen, in the Apps section, or within the Quick Settings panel.
Tap the Settings icon once to open it. You will see a list of categories related to your device’s configuration. Do not worry if you are unfamiliar with the options displayed. You only need to navigate to the application management area in the next step.
If you cannot locate Settings, swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon that appears in the upper-right corner. This method works on most Fire Tablet models and provides quick access to device settings.
Taking a moment to familiarize yourself with the Settings menu can be helpful because many app-related tasks are managed from this location.
Step 2: Access the App Management Section
After opening Settings, you need to locate the section that manages installed applications.
Scroll through the available categories until you find Apps & Notifications, Apps & Games, or a similarly named option. The exact wording may vary depending on your Fire Tablet model and Fire OS version.
Tap this section to continue. You will now see options related to installed apps, permissions, notifications, and application management.
Next, select Manage All Applications or Installed Applications. This area displays every app currently installed on your Fire Tablet.
The list may contain many applications, especially if you have been using the device for a long time. Take your time scrolling through the list. Applications are often arranged alphabetically, making it easier to locate the one you want to remove.
At this point, you are preparing to identify WPS Office and access its specific settings page.
Step 3: Locate WPS Office in the Application List
Now that you are viewing all installed applications, find WPS Office in the list.
Scroll carefully until you see the app name. If your Fire Tablet includes a search function within app management, you can use it to locate WPS Office more quickly.
Once you find the application, tap its name. This opens the app information page, where you can view details such as storage usage, permissions, cache size, notification settings, and version information.
Many new users mistakenly think they need to open the app itself to uninstall it. That is not necessary. The uninstall process takes place entirely within the app information page.
Reviewing this page can also help you determine how much storage space the app is using before you remove it.
Step 4: Review Important Files and Data
Before uninstalling WPS Office, it is wise to check whether you have any important documents stored locally within the app.
If you use WPS Office for creating or editing files, verify that those files are saved in a secure location. Documents may be stored in the device’s internal storage, on a memory card, or in cloud services.
Open WPS Office if needed and confirm that essential files have been backed up. You may want to upload important documents to cloud storage or transfer them to a computer for safekeeping.
Although uninstalling the app generally does not delete documents stored elsewhere on the device, locally stored app data may be removed during the uninstall process.
Spending a few minutes reviewing your files can help prevent accidental data loss and provide peace of mind before proceeding.
Step 5: Tap the Uninstall Option
After confirming that your important files are safe, return to the WPS Office app information page.
Look for the Uninstall button. It is typically located near the top portion of the screen. Tap it once.
A confirmation message will appear asking whether you want to remove the application from your Fire Tablet.
This confirmation step is designed to prevent accidental app removal. Carefully read the prompt to ensure you are uninstalling the correct application.
If you selected the wrong app by mistake, simply cancel the process and return to the app list.
When you are ready to continue, proceed to the confirmation step.
Step 6: Confirm the Uninstallation
The confirmation prompt provides one final opportunity to decide whether you want to remove WPS Office.
Tap OK, Confirm, or Uninstall, depending on the wording displayed on your Fire Tablet.
The system will begin removing the application. In most cases, the process takes only a few seconds.
During this time, Fire OS deletes the app files and associated data stored on the device. You may briefly see a progress indicator while the removal is being completed.
Avoid turning off the tablet or interrupting the process until it finishes.
Once complete, the WPS Office icon will disappear from your installed apps list, indicating that the application has been successfully removed.
Step 7: Verify That WPS Office Has Been Removed
After uninstalling the app, it is a good idea to confirm that the process completed successfully.
Return to your Home screen and search for the WPS Office icon. If the app has been removed, the icon should no longer appear among your installed applications.
You can also revisit Manage All Applications and look for WPS Office in the list. If it does not appear, the uninstallation was successful.
Another way to verify removal is to check your available storage space. In many cases, you will notice that additional storage has become available after uninstalling the app.
This final verification step ensures that the application was completely removed from your Fire Tablet.
Step 8: Restart the Fire Tablet if Necessary
Although restarting is not always required, doing so can help refresh system resources after uninstalling an application.
Press and hold the power button until the power menu appears. Choose the restart option and allow the device to reboot.
After the restart is complete, your Fire Tablet will load normally without WPS Office installed.
Restarting can be especially helpful if you removed the app to troubleshoot performance issues, crashes, freezing problems, or excessive storage usage.
Once the device has restarted, you can continue using it as usual.
What Happens After Uninstalling WPS Office?
When you uninstall WPS Office, the application itself is removed from your Fire Tablet. The amount of storage space recovered depends on the app version and how much data it accumulated during use.
If your documents are stored in cloud services, they typically remain accessible through your cloud account. Files saved in other device folders may also remain intact.
However, app-specific settings, preferences, cached data, and locally stored information may be deleted. This is why backing up important files before uninstalling is recommended.
If you later decide to use WPS Office again, you can reinstall it from the Amazon Appstore and sign in using your existing account credentials.
