does knox disabled if i root my device ?? i just want to uninstall some unwanted system apps like game launcher, facebook, opera max pre-installed data, samsung max, bixby, ar zone etc. because my device has only 4gb ram and now day by day all apps are getting bigger in size after updates.. device : galaxy a50 (4gb+64gb)

There is no need to root your device to remove these apps. You can use ADB to uninstall these apps if you have a PC. I have been doing it for a long time now.

And to answer your question, yes, Knox will get tripped (disabled) if you root your device.

It completely uninstalls the app, but the apk gets retained in root folders. So it doesn't take as much space as it used to, and these apps come back only if you do a factory reset, not with updates.

Rooting removes knox
Knox is the worst enemy of root😂😂
