Help Pre loaded apps

Pre Loaded Apps
I am wondering if it is ok to delete some of the apps that I believe were preloaded, i.e. Google stuff flipboard, chrome, chatOn, Drive,Google Playbooks, google play music etc., I never use any of these.

I downloaded apps that I want but a lot of this stuff I really do not want.

Is it safe to delete these?

Some of them you can't delete, but yeah it should be fine.

A lot of those pre-loaded Samsung and Google apps cannot be uninstalled/removed from your S3 unless you've rooted your phone. At best you'll be able to turn off some of them so at least they're not running in the background.
There are other threads on this forum referring to what apps are safe to disable:

But if you're really determined to optimize your S3's overall usability you need to root it.
