How do I uninstall FamilyMap and ATT Radio? I"ve tried pulling them down to the trash without success. The upgrades, although manual, clog up my phone, and I DON'T WANT THEM? I can't find an answer on this site. I hope I don't have to do something highly technical. I simply do not want anymore upgrades to a program (or six) that I don't use. Thanks for help.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I've tried that and these seem to be 'undeletable' ATT applications.... I have a Samsung captivate android, with up to date OS.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-installed_softwar
If it's an Android phone and you know how to root it you can install Titanium Backuo and use the Bloatware Melter.

I'm sorry but these pre-loaded apps cannot be removed from the phone.

Thanks, JFiz. IS there any way to prevent all the updates for apps I don't use?

Misinformation. Deleting bloatware IS entirely possible. HOWEVER, you have to be rooted to do so, which will void your warranty.
Many apps have settings within them that allow you to turn off auto updates. Also, there is oftentimes an option in the Play Market.

The stock OS prevents you from deleting them.
