This tutorial will show you how to uninstall applications from an Android device.

The simplest way is to go into the applications, and then hold your finger down on the application you want to uninstall until it switches to the main screen.

Then you should notice and uninstall option at the top of the screen. Just drag the app to that to uninstall it. You will have to hit ok when it asks if you want to uninstall the application.

You may also notice some apps that the uninstall option doesn't appear for. These are included apps on the phone that are either from Google or from the phone manufacturer or carrier, and can't be uninstalled without rooting your device.
