Dave you might want to try installing Titanium Backup and using that to freeze or uninstall unwanted apps.
You can find it here: https://market.android.com/search?q=titanium+backup&so=1
There is a free and paid version (both offer freeze/uninstall, but the paid of course has more features, such as batch back up)
Works as claimed if you follow the directions.
