Amazon Kindle Fire - delete app permanently

Just received my Kindle Fire today. It's quite convenient that it automatically backs up the apps you downloaded to the cloud if you have account set up. But it's also quite annoying that the app icon retains on the device even if you have already deleted it. To completely delete the app, you will need to delete it from the device and the cloud.

On the device, press on the app for a couple seconds, then the option with delete will pop up. Then simply tap on delete to remove it from local.

On the cloud side, go to "Your Account" on Amazon, scroll down to the bottom and find the "Digital Content" section. Go to "Your Apps and Devices" to manage the apps on cloud. For the apps you want to remove, clicks on "Actions..." for the options.

Once the app is remove on both places, deregister the Kindle Fire. After you register back, you won't see those unwanted icons.

But the those pre-loaded app, you cannot really remove them.
