This will show you all of the Oculus games, apps and experiences that you've installed onto your phone. If you tap and hold on the app you would like to uninstall, a pop-up menu will appear. It's here that you'll tap uninstall, as well as getting an easy peek at just how much space an app is taking up on your device. Another window will pop up, making you confirm that you want to uninstall a specific app. Tap uninstall and give it a few moments and that app will disappear right off of your phone.
