Stock apps

[skrach#AC]

Is there a way I can delete and remove the apps I do not use such as skype or facebook? I go to the application managment thing and go as if I am going to uninstall it but there is no uninstall button for it. Only a "clear data" button. This is my first android phone so im a noob with this. I liked on my storm 2 how you could hide the application if you couldnt delete it. I miss that option..

You only can if you root. But if you get something like Launcher Pro (a home replacement app), there is an option to 'hide' the apps in the app drawer. But without rooting, that's all you can do.

You can delete any app you download, by the way. The pre-installed ones won't go away without rooting though.

I believe you can using adb but i've never done so. If you root most of the roms remove those stock apps.

The guys here have done a great job of explaining what root is.
