How to remove unwanted apps from ZTE Blade III?
The ZTE Blade III comes with Android Icecream sandwich 4.0.4.
I am a TOTAL mobile newbie...
I prefer accessing Internet from my desktop and make phone calls from my BT landline, but the rest of the family use mobile phones. From my landline calling mobiles typically cost 20 pence or more per minute so got an inexpensive ZTE Blade III mobile from Virgin to eliminate the call charges to the mobiles (calls between virgin mobiles are free).
I would only occasionally access a few sites like BBC Weather, BBC News, Houses of Lords and Parliament, CNN Armanpour, Euronews and Amazon from the ZTE and continue to use these and few other like Google, Yahoo, gmail, YouTube, Facebook, Skype, online newspapers/stores and various forums etc from the desktop.
There are other apps on the ZTE. Some I would want to remove now, like games and children books like The three Musketerers, Alice in Wonderland and Treasure Island (read these as a boy!) How? Here are more apps on the ZTE:
calendar, camera, downloads, eventnote, facebook, fmradio, fullshare, gallery, gmail, google+, hotdeals, latitude, local, maps, messaging, miEasyAccess, music, navigation, notepad, people, phone, playbooks, playmovies, rgtagz, googlesearch,sms alerts, softwareupdates, soundrecorder, talk, taskmanager, timer, touchpalkey, videoplayer, xoffice, youtube, googlesearch.
Some of these might be useful other I would probably want to discard. I come from Windows & Linux that provide programs/applications delete functions, but I could not find these on Android.
Anything I could try or are the ZTE apps preinstalled and will stay forever?

On the desktop with Ubuntu/Windows dual-booted I use the Firefox browser that automatically remembers the last websites visited and conveniently lets me delete individual sites from the history list that I don't want any more. Do Android or Android browsers have some something similar?
