Strangely enough, I really want to choose the apps I have on my phone and not be forced to have the stuff some faceless apparatchik insists on putting on it without providing an easy path to remove it...  |
You can disable apps in Settings and they disappear from your drawer. They are still installed, but are not running and not visible.
A more drastic approach is to root and remove them, there is a list on XDA of the ones that it is safe to remove.
