When I create a new Android Application I get to see a appcompat folder, and it loads alot of junk in my actual project. Is there a way I can downgrade?

- Closed any projects that were open in Eclipse
- Closed Eclipse
- Deleted the unused project folders in the workspaces folder
- Restarted Eclipse
- File > New > Android Application Project
- Chose API 14 as the Minimum Required SDK and that got rid of the appcompat folder

This folder contains files for Android support library that are included with your android app project to achieve backward compatibility for some features of android.
