Hi Babs, I'd be very careful. Most of the software with these branded machines is often resource hungry and a pain in the ass but some are quite important as well. I'd investigate each one first and make sure it doesn't remove any shared components if you remove it. From what you've mentioned, the only one I'd be especially cautious about would be the Dell Driver Reset Tool. Some of these branded machines have specific drivers because sometimes some of the hardware isn't exactly standard and it may be very difficult to get replacement drivers in the event of a system failure or reformat. The other two probably would be ok but I'd try to investigate it further before simply taking the advice of one or two people.
