Newbie Question: Can I just remove the Sprint apk file I don't want from \System\App folder using Root Explorer or would this cause the phone to error out? If this is not the correct way let me know right way to remove unwanted sprint apps. Thanks.
Try using titanium backup from the market, worked for me.

So from what everyone is saying I'm assuming just removing the apk files should do the trick.

Assuming that you are using windows
Use debloater, titanium backup or root uninstaller from market.
Ofcause u need root to remove system apps or just freeze them, same result
U don't need all 3.one will do
Here is the best solution:

Just got my SGSIII, and i was wondering about disabling some or all of the AT&T bloatware. Does anyone know which apps i can safely disable, without sacrificing phone performance? Thanks in advance.
Yea you can use titanium backup or try autostarts that also works good for disabling apps, both of which need root
Oh yea!? Thems fightin words....

Like thatsupnow said you can use titanium backup and freeze or uninstall the apps you dont want or you can use system tuner and disable unwanted apps from start up. You need root for both methods
Alternatively if you dont want to root you can also go into settings-app manager and i think you have the option of disabling SOME apps

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "stock" debloated rom right now for the S4, all of them have some customization.
If you are looking for a really excellent rom to flash "Wicked v3" check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265998
It is not stock but it has all the carrier and samsung bloatware removed and has many outstanding features.
Good luck!
So what firmware will I have if I will buy s4 directly from samsung store etc. That's something what I am looking for my s4.

get titanium backup to remove any carrier bloatware apps, if you already have root then get a SU manager app and download goomanager and get TWRP recovery on your phone, after that you can download a stock.qmg to have the international i9500 boot up screen without the tmobile in it. that's as stock as I think you can get.

Titanium Backup no longer deletes all the bloatware system apps, it used be able to do remove
a lot of it before the S4 hit the scene. All Titanium can do now is simply "freeze" the system apps.
There are only perhaps 2-3 system apps at most which it can delete now, hopefully Titanium will
get updated so it will have the ability again to really do a good job getting rid of the bloatware.

Oh, I don't really use that to delete bloatware, I usually use root explorer and just delete the apps I just wanted to give him a easy workaround, you can also get an app called no more bloat o something like that, I works wonders.

Yes, root explorer can delete any files.
That's about the only way we can remove/delete bloatware now.
Even the "System App Remover" and the "Root Uninstaller" app
from the play store no longer removes/uninstall bloatware.
Those apps also need to be upgraded so they can delete bloatware in the S4.
OP just make sure that instead of deleting the apps with root explorer you 'move' them to a folder in your sd card, that way if you mess anything up you can always move the apps back where they belong. Best of luck.

??? No problems with TB whatsoever and i've been using it on the S4 since the beginning a month ago.
It deletes everything i want to, even without having a backup of the item.
Now the hype has died down a bit
Do we have a list of samsung bloatware that can be disabled via the apps list?
so done manually
Not using ADB
Unless you have root access, there are only a handful of apps that can be uninstalled manually without adb. Why don't you want to use adb?
You can debloat system apps using Package Disabler Pro from the playstore without root.
