OT: How to delete unwanted apps from Android phone?

[joe at actionline.com]

I have several apps on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that I did not install
and do not want, but I have been unable to find a way to get them deleted
off of my phone.

Any suggestions?

I have tried all the steps explained by Google.

Playstore > menu > My apps & games > Bloomberg (one of the unwanted apps)
> (but there is no "uninstall" option)

Settings > General > Application manager > (the app I want to delete is
not listed there)

I keep getting update notices for several of these unwanted apps and
cannot find any way to kill them off.
