That's what you end up with when you buy a Samsung phone. The only way to eradicate them from the device is to install a custom ROM that doesn't include them. You can disable them (in the app drawer long-press on the app's icon, drag to app info then turn off or disable) but they still take up space.

Other devices with more pure Android experiences (the recent Moto devices, Nexus devices) don't have this problem.

install nova launcher, root your phone and remove unwanted carrier bloatware! that is just short of putting a custom rom.

It should be noted that rooting and completely removing the carrier "bloatware" often results in not being able to receive future OTA updates. The better option is to "freeze" the apps once the device is rooted. Unfortunately, this option doesn't free up the space used by said apps.
