Maybe GCam is not working right. Maybe you want to free up storage. Whatever the reason, uninstalling GCam APK is quick and clean if you do it right. Here is the safe step-by-step process to remove GCam from any Android phone in 2026.

Step 1: Back Up Your Configs (Optional but Smart)
If you spent time fine-tuning your GCam settings, copy the XML config file from Internal Storage, GCam, Configs to your Downloads folder before uninstalling. That way you can reinstall the same config later without redoing the work.
Step 2: Uninstall From App Drawer
The simplest method. Long-press the GCam or MGC icon in your app drawer. Tap “Uninstall” or “Remove.” Confirm. The app removes in seconds.
Step 3: Uninstall From Settings (Alternative)
If long-press does not work on your phone, go to Settings, Apps, find GCam or MGC. Tap it, then tap Uninstall. Same result.
Step 4: Clear Leftover Folders
Uninstalling removes the app but sometimes leaves the GCam folder with your configs and saved photos. Open your File Manager, go to Internal Storage, find any folder named GCam, MGC, AGC, or LMC. Delete what you do not need.
If you backed up your config in step 1, you can safely delete the entire GCam folder.
Step 5: Remove Multiple GCam Builds
If you installed several different GCam builds (BSG MGC, Hasli LMC, BigKaka AGC) they install as separate apps. Repeat the uninstall steps for each one. Check your app drawer for icons named GCam, MGC, LMC, AGC, or SGCam.
