Systems then apps; you will see two of many of those bloatware programs. Then tap each program and hold it for a few seconds and a bigger menu will come up. OBTW then phone has to be rooted or this will not be possible. Any more information in greater detail you'll have to ask someone else as this was my first ever rooted phone; it worked well for me. Loads of great info here on this forum and on the internet.

As for the apps turning on themselves, they will it all depends on what your settings are on syncing and it you allow those apps access to the net etc... I would shut down the Amazon app and not 2 minutes later it would be running again, shut it down and the dame thing would finally be turned off for a few hours. The Facebook apps will run all the time no matter how many times you force shut them down, and IMO they are a huge waste of battery life and your own personal security.
