Remove apps from Samsung Knox

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB. Recently I found out that out of the 32GB, at least 8GB is being used by apps inside Samsung Knox. Not Knox itself, but apps inside it.


I'd like to keep Knox for its features if my phone gets stolen, but I won't actively be using the apps within.


How can I delete apps like WhatsApp from Knox?

Answer

Actually, WhatsApp is a system app in the main system and not in Knox. However, when you allow it to be copied to Knox, it will be a system app also in Knox.


When I tried to remove it from Knox, it removed itself from the main system also and defaulted to the preinstalled on the main and on the Knox.
