The reference for adb: enabling debugging, pairing over Wi-Fi with adb pair, installing apps, port forwarding, copying files and shell commands. The package manager section documents pm list packages and pm uninstall with -k and --user, the basis for per-user removal of apps. Only remove packages you understand.

Quick steps

Enable USB debugging
Wireless: adb pair ipaddr:port, then enter the pairing code
adb shell pm list packages to find a package
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package> keeps data and affects only user 0
