location of non-installed apk files

[philipzae]

When i scan by internal storage with diskusage it shows me multiple apk files from apps that i dont have installed, like yandex, evernote, and facebook, but there is no way for me to find out where these apk files are stored as pressing the 'show' button attempts to open app info and the delete entry in the hamburger menu is disabled. it would be useful if there was a means know the path of these apk files, so i could manually remove them.

This is probably system apps bundled with your device. You cannot uninstall them without root access. With root you can find them in /system/app

Thanks for the information. Would still be useful to know what the path of the file is, whether i'm able to delete it or not.
