There is a process call rooting which will allow you administrative access to your phone. This will allow you to delete some of those unnecessary factory apps ...often referred to as bloat ware. I have tried several applications for this process and none of them have worked. I'm thinking maybe it is just something with the manufacturer of my phone that prevents it. Also it voids the warranty of your phone. However I'm thinking it should free up a lot of space on the phone. I can think of at least 4 apps that can go. Also it should make your phone run more efficiently because it cuts down on some of those unnecessary apps running in the background. Just don't mess up and delete the wrong app because you will mess up your phone. Has anyone had any luck doing this?
 
Too much risk to use on a phone that's required day to day. Modifying the ROM is always risky.

Which phone do you have?
 
I think I rooted my old 1st-gen iPod nano once and now it will do absolutely nothing except play Beverly Hills on repeat. So... unless you really really like Weezer... I do not recommend. :p
 
I've rooted every phone that I've had except this one I'm on now so far. And I've been thinking about doing it because of the useless, bloaty Sony apps that they won't let you uninstall. Rooting is incredibly easy though..what phone do you have?
Installing custom ROMs is always a bit riskier but the benefits have always paid off and I've never had a problem doing so, except running into a ROM that was a bit buggy but I've never bricked a phone.
 
I tried rooting my phone once...gave it plenty of fertilizer and water. It never did bud :p
