Remove apps without the app loader?

Am I safe removing e.g. the health app programmatically?

code snippet:
var files = require("Storage").list();
files.forEach(function(element){
if(element.startsWith("health") ) require("Storage").erase(element);
});

The reason I ask is I'm managing ~50 Bangles and I'd like to do this with Node instead of running the app loader on all of them. This is on Bangle.js2 if it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Yes, that should be absolutely fine to do. For other apps it might be different, but looking at metadata.json for the health app it's all files starting with health that you need to get rid of.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
