Package Disabler 2.5
Unless you can root your phone, there's no actual way to get rid of them. However, Package Disabler is a very useful app that lets you disable these pre-installed packages, but it only works on Samsung phones.
Easy-to-use interface with lots of tips
The app's interface is quite generic, it only has a list of all applications installed on your phone and doesn't come with any actual tips. Therefore, it's best to read all instructions and watch the video on the app's Google Play page, before starting to disable packages.
It doesn't use material design but it does have a menu with options under an overflow icon on the top left side of the screen. The app is quite fluent and it won't take long to figure out how it works and all the neat features that you can use.
Disable all unwanted programs
Package Disabler only works on Samsung devices, but the developer is looking to make the app available for other phones as well. All you need to do in order to disable a package is to find it in the list or use the search bar.
It shows you if the package is running, it's size, path, CPU usage, RAM memory usage and data size. You can clear data and disable the package. This doesn't mean that the app is uninstalled, but it will no longer get updates from Google Play and won't take up phone resources. Use the app to clear memory and save battery on your phone, without rooting it.
More features
You can lock access inside the app using a password, as to make sure others won't access your data. Package Disabler provides an export/ import functionality to backup all disabled packages on your external storage which you can restore at any time.
However, users should always have a backup of their phone as important features might break when disabling system apps. In addition, the exported package list lets you swiftly get rid of all bloatware after installing a new ROM or performing a factory reset. When wiping your phone's data, you can export your package list to import it on your new ROM.
The app comes with a premium feature that costs 0.99$ and lets you disable an unlimited number of packages, remove bloatware with one click, it allows batch operation to enable all disabled packages and has lots of filters.
