Removing Apps that came with the phone

[EMTsNightmare]

I have a few apps (Peep, footprint, stocks) that came with the phone (HTC Eris) that I want to remove from my phone as they keep popping up and I never use them. Unfortunately using Advanced Task manager doesn't uninstall the apps, and any time I close them they just start up again.

I have managed to set most of them to not auto update and the like, but they still run.

Any ideas?

No way possible without gaining root access and from there its a command in terminal or console
(i.e for me in terminal it is "rm /syatem/app/(the .apk you wish to remove)"
"rm"=remove and the /data/apps is where the file is located
to see a full list of your apps you go into terminal and type
su (enter)
cd /system/app (enter)
ls (enter)
This list is where you see the .apk's and which ones you want to remove (make sure its spelled exactly the same)
but I don't know if you can get root for the eris yet

sorry its a bit confusing
