you can't delete them because verizon or whoever pushes them to your phone...you can delete the service books for them but them will come back after a reboot so the best bet is to just hide them, thats what i do
Your in the same boat I was in, but then I realized something. They are probably uninstalled already and your just seeing the icons. No worries. Simply highlight one of the icons, hit the blackberry button and choose HIDE.
They should disapear and you wont have to worry about them, or do something else I do, Dump them into the setup folder.
While I'm typing, I'll give a little tip.
My storm started working a little better when I organized it.
On the home screen I have 8 icons: Applications folder, messages, contacts, calender, media, tools folder, weather bug and poynt.
I put all useful apps that I use most inside apps folder.
I put all tools such as camera, video camera, xcel and word in a folder I created called tools
Everything else I had no need for, I put in setup.
This helps the storm from having too much stuff just laying around, seems to work faster for me anyway.
Correct, they are uninstalled, you are just left with a link to the program that if clicked will launch the installer. The easiest thing to do is to simply hide the icon that is left once you have deleted the application.
