    Most cannot be uninstalled. Make a new folder called Trash or Junk or some similar. Move the apps into the folder and hide the folder.

    Most of those are not apps unless you install them. Those icons take up very little space. Not enough to worry about in the larger scheme of things.

    Several of what look like factory installed apps are merely links to the app installer. You'll see these "virtual preloads" in your device service book as e.g. MobiTV VPL, Diner Dash VPL, VPL TeleNav, etc. Deleting a VPL item from your service book will remove the icon from your screen, but it will reappear the next time you push service books to your phone. I hide the VPL icons that I never plan to use.

    stick the cable into your phone, connect to your BB desktop software, and then you can delete some apps. it should work.

    Go to options/type in "service book"/delete anything that has [browser_config] at the end

    In most instances any deletion of those icons results in their being replaced if the service books are pushed again. Less trouble to just hide the darned things. Out of sight, out of mind.

    Sedalia066 is the only one correct here. Apps that are pushed to your device via a service book cannot be deleted, and are just links to download the app. You can delete the service book, but they will return next time you reboot.

    any of the browser_config service books are pushed by your carrier. they are nothing more than a shortcut icon to a web page to download the app.

    yeah Like everyone else said its just a link which takes almost no space of your
    ram. Hiding them in a separate hidden folder is a great suggestion as sedalia066 said.

    Again NO.

    They are just "place cards" to download said apps and are controlled by a service book, and would be reinstalled upon your next reboot.
