you can theoretically do it, but messing with the app.db may cause major instability with the browser. I'm not sure why.

backup the app.db. you should be able to delete the excess by changing canRemove from 0 to 1 for the apps you want to remove. I'm not sure if all are removable though.

better not
then it has problems ps4
Sony's useless apps can be put in a folder?
I want to put them inside the homebrew folder.
I'll put them in last
so when I turn on the ps4 I find the internet browser the games folder the homebrew folder and the screenshots folder

it doesn't work that way. it's called the sort priority. you can force them to stay in one position, but normally all that show 100 will move according to order last used. if you try forcing it, by changing to 101, 102, or something, the browser becomes unstable. both I and @Leeful have tested this. when I did it, it took over 2 hours to initiate goldhen again, and I was on 5.05.

I got them gone by MODDED WARFARE method but not sure how stable that will be.

Very unstable to remove What's New and PlayStation Store. Found a possible work around change Browser prior to 10 or bellow and change to new and store to over 100. Lower makes it higher priority and higher makes it lower. This will make browser always first.

I can't hide ps store and news but it solves a problem
I once rebuilt the database and all games and homebrews disappeared
i used ps4 toolset and games and homebrews are back :)

I hid them and 2 months now. On 9.00 no problems with browser on for me. Maybe that is why app says 9.00 only.
I was re-downloading all things

Backup your app.db and addcont.db from system_data/priv/mms
