1. None of that is likely taking up all your space. Most of it are things you'd likely miss if you didn't have, and most of it would need to be reinstalled anyway during normal usage as far as I can tell. (These are all programs that are either essential to the operating system, your printer, internet plug-ins, and/or production and integrated software.) You don't have any games or anything, which is normally what I pick out when I get this issue. Most of the time, space is taken up by movies, photos, and music. More than you can imagine, if you're thinking, "But I don't have THAT much..."
2. I totally agree with the first answer. All that stuff is not really taking up that much room. The Toshiba apps are not necessary but Like I say you won't gain much room removing them.
