How to delete pre-installed apps in rooted phone? I rooted my phone with superoneclick.
Btw which apps i can deffinetly delete without harming my phone or other important apps?
 
Dude, 2 threads for 2 questions?? you could have asked those 2 questions in same thread itself..

Download Titanium Backup from market and delete those stock (pre-installed) apps.
I deleted all the games, user guides, support, timescape and Roadsync.

for all those asking what apps are safe to be removed from phone, here's a list i got from xda (the posters there said that the phone works perfectly even after uninstalling these apps; i haven't tried yet :)):

rollercoaster.apk (Game)

peggle.apk (Game)

edge.apk (Game)

quadrapop.apk (Game)

Wisepilot.apk (GPS software have to subscribe only trial 30days)

roadsync.apk (Synchronization with Microsoft Exchange)

NeoReader.apk (Bar code reader - uninstall and download new version free if you need it)

moxiermail.apk (Similar program as roadsync.apk)

officesuite.apk (Mobile Systems OfficeSuite trial version)

EManual.apk (Sony Ericsson E-manual)
EManualLauncher.apk

facebook.apk (Facebook app - can be removed and installed again from Android market)

playnow
(Sony Ericsson own Music & Apps store, if removed no Playnow store)
playnowappinstaller.apk
playnowback.apk
playnowclient.apk

JapaneseIME.apk
(Japanese text input, if removed NO japanese input)

chinesetextinput.apk
(Chinese text input, if removed NO chinese input)

PCcompanion.apk - remove dop.iso in the /data folder
(Installs PC companion software on a computer without the need to download it from internet, if removed this option is gone)

Telenor_Wrapper.apk (Thanks morning_wood for the info)
(This is for Telenor subscribers so if you remove it will you have problems if you later will subscribe to Telenor network).

Timescape ( 2.1ver ) removed files:

TimescapePluginManager(.apk)
TimeScapeProvider(.apk)
Timescape-smallui(.apk)
uWlopProvider(.apk)

usersupport.apk
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
SetupWizard.apk
SemcEmailSmall.apk
ReadyToRun.apk
Sync.apk
OmaDataserviceProvider.apk
backupandrestore.apk
SemcBrowser.apk
DrmProvider.apk
Stk.apk
com.facebook.katana.apk
PcCompanion.apk

BlockBreaker_2_Deluxe_SMS_Demo.apk
Calculator.apk (if you don't use it)
edge.apk
Notes.apk (if you don't use it)
Orkut.apk
Orkut_Plugin.apk
peggle.apk
Roller Coaster
Operator_prefix.apk


How to:
1. If you don't see these apps in Titanium Backup, then use Root Explorer to move the files from system/app to data/app
2. Reboot
3. When the phone comes back, the apps can be uninstalled from the apps list (applications/manage applications/uninstall)
4. Remember to also clean out /data/data after removing these apps


You will free a lot of space in the internal memory after uninstalling.

Happy uninstalling. :D
