How do I properly and completely (with no bad side-effects) uninstall this from my android tablet?

 

Busy Box

 

There is a uninstall button in the app itself, but idk if that will cause anything bad to happen. Please help???? Thanks!!!!

you want to press the uninstall button in the app (this will remove the busybox files), then once that is done, go into the settings app and uninstall the actual app. Not sure why you want to uninstall it though, it is needed for a lot of root apps.

But I thought that if it removes all busybox files that it can make the device not work properly (like brick it or something else thats bad)? Not counting ANY root required apps that is. Any truth to that?

No, it is basically just a set of commands that root apps use.

So, tapping uninstall from in the busybox app will uninstall it completely while having nothing bad happen (again not counting root features)? Because a message comes up when tapping uninstall talking about a warning of flashing Roms and knowing what your doing and linked things in android kernels/directories or whatever it is called. All that stuff plus anything else that it mentions in the message that I forgot to mention here is making me hesitant from uninstalling it. Thanks again for the help!!!!

If you are that worried just make a nandroid and then do it. As long as busybox didn't come with your rom you should be fine.
