Automated Bloatware Downloads

When setting up my Meta Quest 3, it keeps trying to install Instagram, facebook, whatsapp and other games that I don't want on my headset.... How do I turn them off? I cancelled the downloads only to have them try and reinstall it 5 minutes later. We are pretty limited on HD space on these headsets so I would appreciate not having to have the bloatware on it especially when I didn't give it permission to make the downloads. Any ideas?

@trees711  unfortunately, there's no way to turn off the bloatware downloads, but you can delete some of the apps that you're not using. Not all of them thought.
