Strollin has given you a very good definition of bloatware. I would add that before you dig in to it's a removal I strongly suggest that you create an image of your drive as it is now on a external hard drive. As you remove things do it slowly and not all at once.
As you are successful at removing each item create another image so you always have a path back should something go wrong.
I have never had an issue after removing the manufacturer installed software but you never know.
If you know enough to make images of the hard drive, it is easier to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system IMHO.
