Those applications can't be uninstalled in the usual way. You will need to root your phone, then you can use Titanium Backup because it already has a feature that allows you to remove the system application.

As I said, you will need to root your phone to gain system access, then you can remove any item you want, like in the image attached below.

Note: Camera is the actual Camera application which cannot be uninstalled in the usual way, yet I can remove it without worries.

you could simply go to the " Applications " tab and then you could "Force Stop" the application and then "Disable it" you will no longer have the application anymore

You need to root your phone, and some apps in Google Play can help you delete those pre-installed applications in your phone, you can search for them with" system application deleting". However, you should pay more attention when you are doing deletion, some system apps are very important for OS!!!

Go to Settings --> Application Manager --> chose your app --> Disable.
it will not delete the app from the phone but it can stop the app's functions and the icon of the app in menu will be erased.

Solution 1: Root
The only way to remove these third-party apps would be to root your Android device and receive the Super User status.

Solution 2: Task Killers
Removing a widget: any of these which are displayed on the homescreen can be easily removed by tapping and holding the shortcut of the widget and drop it into the recycle bin.

Removing Apps: Any other application that you might want to “remove” requires the installation of a third-party app called Advanced Task Killer, which can be installed from Google Play. These types of apps will ''kill'' the process from running on your phone and auto-kill the app from starting (booting).

Once you've done this, the app will only be seen in the app drawer, however you reverse the process by going into the settings of your Task killer.

Just because you've ''killed'' the app, it will still take up storage however it won't use any resources.

If the app isn't protected, it can easily be uninstalled with an Uninstaller app.

Or just follow this guide: How to Remove Preinstalled Apps on Android
