Moto G6 - Remove LinkedIn and Outlook

Having replaced my OnePlus 3 with a Moto G6 I was annoyed by the pre-installed crapware; LinkedIn and Outlook - two apps I will never use.

With USB Debugging enabled, I was able to issue the following two commands in adb shell to get rid of them.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.linkedin.android
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook

Do you know the meaning of the -k option in your command or did you just copy it from --help?? Is it useful to keep the app's data when you want to delete the app?

I had never used either of these apps, so there wouldn't have been any data anyway. I don't recall a good reason why I chose to keep it now!
I'd have no qualms about skipping the -k if I ever had to do it again.
