I am attempting to remove the windows mobile office from my Apache device to clear up some space. Any suggestions on how to fully remove the mobile office programs?

Mobile office is cooked into the ROM.
You can only remove it by disassembling the ROM, removing the packages and editing the corresponding entries in the Hive (hv) files.
After which you recompile it and flash it to your device.

A ROM kitchen is the best place to start, and a nice RGU/HV editor won't hurt either

Have fun,

Here is a link to ppckitchen's buildos which will create and flash the rom for you just make sure you select the correct bootloader version for your phone. you can find this out by holding the power button and the camera button and pressing the reset button on the bottem if i remember correctly lol. If you get stuck anywhere just post back and ill try to help you i know there are some tutorials out there if you try searching for them.
