Hi and welcome to AF! 
Unfortunately no. A factory reset will wipe your data and cache partitions. Bloat-ware is in your system partition. The only way to remove unwanted applications that came with your phone is to ROOT it and use a root browser to delete the apps. Hope this information was useful to you!
