Debloater Zip

This is my first MOD.
I just made a zip for my own use and I'm sharing it here.
I personally don't like the system apps which come with LineageOS and LineageOS based ROMs. We all flash GApps and then end up having double apps like Calendar (Google Calendar and Stock LineageOS Calendar). This consumes more space in your "/system" partition.
I tend to remove these apps and use the ones provided by Google instead in "/data" partition. This saves space in "/system" and also doesn't allow to have double apps.
Hence I made a Debloater zip, I know there are various zips out there which can help you debloat your ROM, but they also come with installing something or other.
This zip is a pure Debloater zip. It will just remove the apps which are not used by many in general.

Code:
[SIZE="2"]The list of apps which I have removed from "/system/app" & "/system/priv-app" are
[LIST]Calendar[/LIST]
[LIST]CMFileManager[/LIST]
[LIST]Email[/LIST]
[LIST]Exchange2[/LIST]
[LIST]ExactCalculator[/LIST]
[LIST]Jelly[/LIST]
[LIST]PicoTts[/LIST]
[LIST]Launcher3[/LIST]
[LIST]Trebuchet[/LIST]
[LIST]Gallery2[/LIST][/SIZE]
If you guys want any particular app to be removed apart from these, I can make a separate zip file for you personally.

Don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you like my work.

Changelogs
V 1.0 Removes Everything listed above
V 1.0 Doesn't remove CMFileManager
V 1.2 Doesn't remove Launcher3 and Trebuchet
V 1.3 Removes DocumentsUI too

I'm using Resurrection Remix, hence I did not make a zip for AOSP Based ROMs. If someone can help me out with the location of these apps in AOSP Based ROMs can Telegram me, I'll make a zip for AOSP also.

Great concept! Just wondering if debloating this way is different from the aroma OpenGapps package in terms of removing stock system apps?

Code:
delete_recursive("/system/app/Email");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Exchange2");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Calendar");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Jelly");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Camera2");
delete_recursive("/system/app/CMFileManager");
delete_recursive("/system/app/messaging");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Launcher3");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Trebuchet");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/DocumentsUI");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Snap");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/OmniSwitch");
I use this code to remove all the bloatware while flashing the ROM zip :)

Removes most the things (can be used for other LOS and AOSP based ROMs too)

I would recommend you to do a clean install once again.
Also I have not been using OP2 since a while now hence I am unaware about the recent developments in the ROMs, so it might have been because of some changes from the ROM side too.
