TILT 2 AT&T free up space deleting programs

I only have 45MG free; If I go to uninstall programs there is really nothing there; If I go to TOOLS, then File Explorer, I can see lots of things like trial games, etc that I dont need that could free up space but I would need to do it correctly.
The last time it was done was by AT&T store and he must have deleted a system file because I ended up having to do a hard reset.
Still there must be a safe way to get rid of SOME of this trial crap that came with the TILT2 Touch Pro 2 by AT&T.
right now: PROGRAMS
total 187.07 MG
in use 152.89
free 34.18 - I NEED TO CLEAR THIS???? IDEAS TO DO IT SAFELY TO GIVE ME SOME MORE SPACE???
for STORAGE on the device (not the sd card)
total 226.17 MG
in use 120.59 MG
free 105.58 MG
thks for your help,
THIS SHOULD BE SET UP AS A THREAD - NOT A PAGE
The trial games that you see are not loaded in program memory unless you tap the icons to load them.
The easiest way to rid your device of Bloatware is to not load it in the first place. When you do a hard reset, as the device is coming back up, watch the screen and you will see a notice that it is loading AT&T content (the message varies from device to device) but when you see that type of message, hit the soft reset button with your stylus. That will interrupt the loading of the Bloatware and complete the reset without loading it. Whether the bloatware is loaded or not will not affect the speed of your phone. All that junk software is simply loaded into the storage memory of the device but is not activated as a running program unless you tap one of the apps to load it.
The best way to free up program memory and keep the speed up on your device is to make sure you don't have programs running that you don't need. Check the Task Manager by going to Start>Settings>System Tab>Task Manager and stopping the apps that you don' t need. After I sync my phone with my PC, I always stop Active Sync from running in the background, since it will reload itself the next time I sync. Some of the other apps that take a lot of program memory are GPS, QuickGPS. Having more available program memory will keep your device speedy.

I would also like to know how to remove un-needed programs from the AT&T HTC TILT2. If I find out, I'll report back here.

Hang in there Nancy. HTC tech support isn't so great, but there are people on this Wiki that really know these devices and can give you lots of help. denco7 is one of them. The supercharging he is talking about fits right in with your questions about bloatware. He is talking about cooked ROMs (aka custom ROMS). These are ROMs (Operating Systems) that are developed by developers known as "chefs". They cook up ROMs that have the bloatware stripped out. Many of them use different radio software for WiFi, 3G, and streamline the User Interface on the devices. These ROMs generally blow the doors off of a ROM developed by HTC to the specifications of the carrier. In the case of the T2 - AT&T specifies what it wants, and doesn't want in its ROMS and HTC writes them that way. They are middle of the road ROMs and don't peak the performance of the devices.
The downside to the cooked ROMs is that they void your warrantee. I usually run the stock ROM until the warrantee expires on my device (one year with AT&T) and then "go shopping" at XDA Developers site to find the ROM I like. denco7 has been running WM6.5 (various ROMs) on his Tilt for over a year, even though 6.5 was just officially announced in October of 2009. I recommend that you get used to the Tilt2, dump the bloatware and get a feel for all the good features of the phone before you look at supercharging it. The big question is whether you have an interest in tweaking and improving the device, or are just a power user that wants it to work as advertised - right out of the box. If it's the latter, the T2 will be pretty frustrating for a few months until you get the hang of it. If your up to the challenge, the HTC phones are unbeatable when you get the bugs out. There is some rumbling of an upgraded WM6.5 called WM6.5.1 that is claimed to fix some of the 6.5 bugs. It will probably be a few months before AT&T will release their version of it.
