Can you remove the factory installed apps?

There are several apps on my Droid X that came with the phone - factory installed. Blockbuster video, City ID, Latitude to name a few. Verizon tech support told me there was no way for me to remove the factory installed apps that came with the phone so they wouldn't appear on the app screen.

I am finding that this forum in many cases knows more than Verizon so I'll ask the same question here.

Thanks.
