Hello, I purchased an unlocked Z5 compact. In general, Im very satisfied with this phone, a great phone. But I dislike and I must complain about something. I do not want file commander. It isn't a Sony app, so why must be a system app? I wanna have the opportunity of uninstalling it, because I didn't paid for it, I paid for a Sony product with Sony's software, not for bloatware that uses my system's memory and sends me notifications to upgrade to premium, which is disturbing.
I know that I can disable notifications, but I don't wan't to do it, I wan't to uninstal it, not an undesired process running in background and consuming my battery.

Only way for uninstal is rooting my phone, but in that case I lose warranty, so it's not the solution. And this is very disrurbing because this is not a cheap phone, and things like these intrusive notifications insisting in payments aren't normal.
Please, assistance would be appreciated, I would like to chose my own file manager, and not be forced to have installed something that I don't want.

Thanks in advance.

For your information,File Commander is the only app(system app) that allows you to copy/paste and modify data on your SD Card directly.

Other third party apps like Solid Manager are incapable of modifying(even renaming) files on the SD Card due to "GOOGLE ANDROID LIMITATION ON MODIFYING FILES ON SD CARD,INTRODUCED SINCE 4.4 KITKAT AND ABOVE"

Sir in my advice,File Commander is indeed a very useful tool as its the only way to delete/create folders on SD Card.

However you could disable all of its' notification.

Go to Settings > Apps > Scroll down until found File Commander > Tap on it and then untick "Show Notification"

Hello Ashroft98, thanks for your reply. I don't know if you use this phone, but seems that the limitation is gone. I just created a folder on my SD card, and copyed a photo there In the internal and external SD card. I didn't have any trouble, and no, not with file commamder. Just with es file Explorer, the Explorer that I use and like for more than 4 years.
And like I wrote, I know how to disble notifications, and how to root, Unlock or lock BL... I am an active xda user.
But I dont want to root it atm because the phone is new and I want the warranty.

The thing is that I paid for a unlocked phone, Finally I have a carrier bloatware free phone, and now Sony introduces that? See play store reviews of Fc, most of one star reviews are because users can't uninstal the app.
Seriously, as a customer I want the option of choose my own apps,not be forced to use or maintain my system memory one that have some kind of deal with Sony.
