Why do you want to remove the apps that came on the iPod? They don't take up that much space and what type of iPod are we talking about? If a Nano, I don't believe you can remove them and if a Touch, again, there is no simple process for removing them. If you have a Touch and you simply want to move a number of the included apps to another location so you can have your most used on the front page, you can do that. Now I haven't done it myself, but believe it can be done through iTunes, but apparently can also be done on the iPod itself.
