I tried to factory reset my phone but when I did all of the applications I've ever downloaded (including ones I don't want anymore) came flooding back to the device. Is there any way to prevent these applications from restoring after a factory reset? I have already turned off "Back up my settings" in the Privacy settings. That had an effect on my settings, but not on the Applications that I have downloaded from the Android Market.
I've seen that happen with the things that I've bought, not with just random applications. Try uninstalling them and that should work.
If you need to actually stop applications, use Advanced Task Manager. Works like a charm.

stolen from a Sprint Android forum....
When you do a factory reset it will automatically redownload all purchased applications ever downloaded and any free applications you have downloaded within the last 24 hours.
To prevent this from happening, before Reset go to:
Market > My downloads > Long Press the undesired application > tap unistall > Tell them why you are uninstalling the app > Tap Ok
This lets Google know you do not want the App, and it will not reinstall.
