    Don't delete a darn thing until you burn your recovery DVDs using eRecovery, as well as eRecovery's Drivers & Applications disc.
    The former are a necessity if your system kicks the bucket to get your operating system back; the latter is a back up of all the apps and drivers your system shipped with if you need them again.
    Once you've burned those, feel free to start uninstalling things. I don't use any of the software you've listed since I'm on a clean install, but the fingerprint reader won't work without the BioProtection AAV.
