Once in the app menu, open the options section ( bottom right, next to the home button), select edit. Tap on the app and it will be deleted.

It's my understanding that some app's can't be deleted because of licensing with google. So I suppose if you really wanted them gone you could root your phone, but that seems a bit extreme
With "GoLauncher" you can hide the apps you can't delete. They take up almost no space, and will then never be seen, and you won't have an unused app folder. They will however still be there
