Depending on the phone model you could wipe your phone and flash a custom ROM, or use universal android debloater. If you decided to use the debloater make sure to back up your important files(I don't know how does Samsung boot loader deal with debloater and if it would make your phone stay in a booting loop forcing you to boot into recovery mode), what ever you decide to do don't root your phone.
I don't know if there is a third way.
Why??? Rooting android phone gives you complete control of your phone. You can install Xposed modules and you can control your phone whatever you like.
However rooting is also big security risk and most of the phone models dont support rooting. Cant say much here because I've never done that.
