Extraneous BLOATWARE
I build machines for government use. Users do NOT need GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and the rest of the programs that have invaded what was a clean OS. I need to remove this bloatware permanently. At one time, it was a fairly simple operation but there seems to be no way to do so now. Now it seems that after every reboot, GarageBand and it's invasive fellow programs are reinstalled. Thanks, Apple. Is there a permanent way to remove these unwanted programs (and that includes Chess and Sari and Maps and Stocks and a boatload more)?

Unable to delete Macintosh Data
Scenario: Preparing machine used for testing for sale. Start in Recovery Mode, open Disk Utility from Recovery menu, select the Macintosh Data partition. Click on the Minus button to remove partition. Delete Macintosh Data box opens, get half-way through partition delete and stops. I left it for over 12 hours to see if it was exceedingly slow, shut the machine down because it hadn't changed and am now typing this message on that machine. Cannot delete the Data partition.
