I found the software Root Uninstaller Pro v1.20 that should do the job.
Trying out now.

I'm using "Titanium Backup" for that, it has a lot of uses besides uninstalling bloatware.

If you only wants to hide them you can use "Launcher Pro"

You can remove stock apps by using Terminal Emulator. Here is the tutorial - http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/

Yup~ before root u need to unlock bootloader 1st~

try to avoid unlock bootloader if u just want to keep your phone warranty~

try to stop stock apps operating; android assistant can block other apps at startup and kill apps~

dont waste your phone warranty~

Does somebody got a list with what .apk is what app? Some of the .apk does not resemble some of the apps, and don't want to delete something that might kill my phone.

edit: Btw, you can uninstall apps in flashtool.

If you find the right apk then you can remove the app without any problem with this tool? I mean if the app isnt important, like Gamesbypopcap.

Yeah! Certain app/apk I was remove using root uninstaller - result; my phone running on 235/334MB free space memory~

backup before remove~ if you want to install back to system app you needs to purchase root uninstaller pro

=/ not good if you make mistake~

Yeah, you need to root your mini for that. It voids the warranty, but I'm pretty sure you can reverse it so people can't tell. Technically, you've voided your warranty, but if you remove the evidence, no one can tell and your warranty is honored. You need to know what you're doing, obviously, so you should look into it more before trying it.

Hey guys i have another question, i dont think a new thread is needed.

My mini pro says the sdcard has 1.2 gb used but when i select all files inside the card with Windows explorer it says there is only 350mb used. Why? and who's right?

Is there a way to remove them without rooting the phone?

Or did the devs already find a way to root he phone without unlocking the bootloader?
