In short

In the settings under Apps, sort by last used and delete all apps marked "never used".

Step by step

  1. Open the Settings and tap Apps.
  2. Have the apps shown by when you last used them.
  3. Look for all apps marked "never used".
  4. Delete these apps.

You need this when apps pile up over the year that you tried once and never opened again. They take up space on the smartphone. According to Jen, the app drawer also becomes clearer again after deleting them.
