Removing Stock Apps

So, I'm apparently running out of space and I see some stock apps I just don't want...
I'm rooted, so how do I go in and remove (or backup and then remove) stock apps such as 'ThinkFree Office' or 'AllShare'?
Thanks.

When you Remove/Disable an .apk does all the previously saved data get wiped?

Just curious if one should go to manage applications to wipe date before removing apps or if that is not needed.
BTW I am on a deodexed rom and I am talking about preinstalled apps and bloatware.

[Q] To everyone with a rooted note

So, today I rooted my note using Zerg-rush exploit and got the My Backup app.
So, my question is, can someone provide me with a list of apps/services that I can safely freeze with no adverse effect on functionality?
( Maybe I'll compile a list of all such apps/services that you guys mention, so that other n00bs like me can benefit from it.)
Thanks in advance.
You can use Root App Remover. It can freeze and delete stock applications. The ones with red text (contacts, settings etc.) can't be removed, so it's pretty safe to use it if you know what you're doing. Do not delete random stuff just because you can. If you for example want to remove the stock keyboard remember to have another keyboard installed.
But it's totaly safe to freeze/delete the third party Samsung/carrier apps, but again be careful.

New to TPT: Remove bloatware from rooted TPT

Hi.
I just got my TPT. Its a 32gb device with 3G, for my dad.
As its for my dad it should be rock stable so I think I don't need a custom Rom.
But Root. I already rooted the ICS device.
I would like to remove some of the preinstalled apps (bloatware).
Could you tell me which one to remove?
Lenovo App store (its closed) for example.
If I remove something from /system/app how can I get it back?
Is it reinstalled when the TPT is being resetted?
Thanks in Advance
you can just disable the apps, or you can make a CWM backup and then you can try to remove them using titanium backup, or some other app from the playstore.
Also there si a thread arround here about how to stop the TPT form installing all that bloat.

What apps can i delete in stock mm?

Hi guys, i have stock mm on sm-900M with root and twrp, i was wondering what apps can i delete from stock without suffer any crash or error. Any recomended app to do it? Does exists any stock rom clean and deodexed?
Do a backup with TWRP.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps that you might wish to delete eventually. When happy, delete.
There are cleaned stock rooms around but don't know about your model.
Depending on your requirements you could delete as many as say 150 apps.
My personal installed total is 154 including 43 apps of my own choosing.
HTH.
