I don't want it, yet I can't delete it. I have disabled it, I don't use it I don't want it, it's pointless to have something taking up space and can't get rid of it. Some programs I understand have to be there to run the phone, but I don't need this to run my phone and so I should be able to delete not just disable it, just saying.
