How to Use a Root to Remove UnwantedAndroid Apps

Gaining root access to your Android operating
system allows you tweak your device in a
number of ways, including the removal of both
native and third-party applications. Because
native applications are provided with the
Android operating system, they aren't offered
in the Android Market, making it important to
back up your app library before deleting native
apps. As with other root user modifications,
the process of removing applications from
your Android is performed using the command
terminal in the Android SDK tools library.
