In the case of apps you yourself install, and a 'few' that come with the device, you would just need to do the following...
1. Tap "Settings" and then tap "Apps".
2. Go to "All" and scroll to find the app you wish to remove.
3. Tap the app you are wanting to remove and then tap "Uninstall".
Once you are done uninstalling what ever apps you are removing, restart the phone.
