How/can I remove the microsoft apps?

Did you install these apps yourself? Did they install as Device administrators? What apps? Have you tried uninstalling them in Safe mode?
 
If they're preinstalled then they're part of the OS and you can't uninstall them (without rooting the tablet, probably). Just force stop and disable the apps if you don't use them.
