Hi,

All applications cannot be uninstalled. If you do not have the option "Uninstall" via Settings > Apps > Tap the app, you cannot uninstall the app. But if the application cannot be uninstalled, you can often choose to disable the application instead by pressing "Disable" via Settings > Apps > Tap the app > Disable.
