    First you have to have ICS for this to work:
    goto apps
    drag app up to "more options"
    then hit "app info"
    hit "clear data"
    hit "Clear cache"
    hit "force stop"
    - that cleans up the junk it may leave behind
    Disable (uninstall updates then go back into app info and then hit disable)

    Its a good way to get rid of the Verizon bloatware the phone comes with. Verizon wont do anything to you it just wont be active on your phone hence the disabling action.

    It wont mess anything up unless you disable the browser then you wont be able to surf the internet. :P They are still installed on your phone just deactivated, so you are not removing anything and you can always activate themby going to manage apps in the all apps section you can scroll down to the bottom and you will find them there to activate.
