The Mini and Mini Pro come preloaded with some applications that have no use. Some games are demo applications that just take up some space. Here is listed what can be safely removed.

Advised method
Removing applications preloaded with the phone can only be done on an rooted phone. It's a good thing to make a backup of applications that will be removed. This can be done with the following commands:
$ mkdir /sdcard/app-backup $ su - # busybox cp /system/app/*.apk /sdcard/app-backup
Now move the files from '/system/app' to '/data/app' with the following commands:
$ su - # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system # busybox mv /system/app/application_name.apk /data/app
When your finished and before reboting do
$ su - # busybox rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending
Witch will reset the Market application.
After rebooting, the applications can be uninstalled in the usual way from the application list.
If some applications keep reappearing after removal, check
/system/etc/customization/applications
