Lenovo loves installing their own programs, some of which are superfluous as Windows 10 features control the same things. Occasionally they even interfere with the Windows equivalent. I'd love to remove all the Lenovo junk simply for peace of mind. So does anybody have any recommendations about which programs can safely be deleted and which ones are necessary/useful? Here's the list of what's on my Yoga:
CCSDK (Lenovo)
Lenovo Dependency Package (Lenovo Group Limited)
Lenovo EasyCamera (SunplusIT)
Lenovo FusionEngine (Lenovo, Inc.)
Lenovo Motion Control (PointGrab)
Lenovo Service Bridge (Lenovo)
Lenovo Utility (Lenovo)
OneKey Optimizer (Lenovo)
REACHit (Lenovo)
USEDK (Lenovo)
User Manuals (Lenovo)
Windows Driver Package (ACPIVPC)
I'll nuke the whole bunch if I can without negatively effecting my system. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Yoga 3 Pro, Windows 10 - Remove Pre-Installed Lenovo Programs?
Ok, I removed everything except Lenovo EasyCamera, Lenovo Service Bridge, and the Windows Driver Package. I left the Service Bridge in just in case I want to avail myself of Lenovo diagnostics/repair services, and anyway, what's life without a little whimsy? 
My Yoga runs perfectly, and no more of REACHit interrupting me with stupid popup windows, etc. And I just like having less Lenovo bloatware on my system. I don't particularly trust them, but then I don't completely trust ANY company. But Lenovo, while they make a great product, has a sketchy past with installing spyware/malware on the devices they sell.
