Help Backup Assistant question

[BCox]

Is it possible to safely delete the VZW backup assistant?

It seems unnecessary as I have my contacts in Gmail, and it won't even sink now anyway...

I know I can just set it to not sync, but I can't stand knowing that it is there, doing nothing...

Can this be done without damaging any of the phones information?

I started a thread earlier today with the same question. So how do you disable the sync?
