Lastly, you can delete applications using the app manager found inside Settings. Here's how you do it.
  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Scroll down and select Manage apps
  3. Swipe over to the Downloaded tab
  4. Select the app you want to delete
  5. Select the Uninstall option at the top
  6. Confirm uninstall
Keep in mind that you can also use the above functions to freeze pre-installed apps by disabling them (in the event they can't be uninstalled). This wont actually delete the app, but it will prevent it from showing up in your app drawer and/or running in the background which is the next best thing.
