First,make sure the emulator is running.Then follow below steps:
1. go to tools directory in command
2. adb shell
3. cd /data/app
4. ls (It will display all the .apk installed in your emulator)
5. rm ***.apk(which you want to remove)
6. exit

Just clean the android data from your home dir.

I am not sure I need to do this on the actual code of the my Android or it can be done using the interface. I don't have programming skills can you please explain further how can I do it? where is the tools directory in command? do I need to install the SDK on my PC?
thanks in advanced

To be more detailed about how to do it (I had to figure it out, so this'll save others having to figure it out too)...

Find where you installed the SDK. Remember that it can't go under the default C:\Program Files because of the space (at least for now).
Mine is at c:\android
Create a DOS window
Navigate to c:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Now you can do the script mentioned above.

It helps when people are beginners to be very specific about all the steps.

Are you able to remove them by using the emulator like a phone and going to the applications in the settings and uninstalling it?
