Remove components from standard installation of KDE Plasma on Debian 10

I recently Installed Debian 10 with KDE Plasma desktop environment. I chose this desktop environment because it is modern and looks great. The customization is also over the top making it the best flavor out there for me.

I noticed that it comes with a lot of bloatware which I can't seem to uninstall. The reason for this is that removing those packages will also remove other important packages.

I will put a list here with all the packages I am willing to remove, and what other packages will automatically be removed with them.

  • Okular(document viewer) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • Gwenview(image viewer) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • Kaddressbook - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • Akregator(feed reader) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • Kopete(messenger) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • kmail - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • konqueror - kde-baseapps kde-plasma-desktop kde-standard konq-plugins task-kde-desktop
  • juk(music player) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop
  • Dragon player(video player) - kde-standard, task-kde-desktop

The list goes on like this. I do not want to write all of them down, you probably get the idea.

If possible I want to remove all programs, but of course keep using KDE. Is there a way to remove these programs safely? And if not, is there a way to hide them from my program menu? I do not need any of them and it is bothering me a lot that they are there.
