Word origin

The physical image behind 卸载 (xièzài, "unload") is a carried load being removed, and computing extends that image from cargo to software held by a device.

Usage tips

  • For device menus, this word contrasts with deleting a file and with disabling an app, because those actions do not necessarily remove the installed program.
