how hard is it to reinstall Android?

[Renob]

I have an AT&T Galaxy Note, I would like to wipe it clean and reinstall the AT&T version of ICS is this a big deal? By the way I have never installed an OS on a phone before.

Just do a factory reset then, should be very easy. Unless you mean the factory OS is not on the phone now.

Yep a factory reset is what you want to do. Will be just like a brand new phone except that you won't lose your sdcard contenta

sweet thanks all and yes Im running the factory OS right now

Factory reset won't always work if you replaced the system files on it (ex CM). In those cases, you might need to use Odin to flash back or flash the stock ROM through CWM. By the fact you said "reinstall AT&T version of ICS" it sounds like you might have done something like that?

You can just uninstall those apps to free up the space. No need to factory reset to simply remove the apps you don't want, unless you like to re-set up your accounts, email, social clients, etc.

Not to mention as soon as you do the factory reset, the Google Play Store will set about automatically downloading those programs again if your account is set to sync applications.
