Anyone advise on how to remove a program, if it wont do it through the Remove Programs tool? Is it just delete the files?
Keep getting "...was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the lost of installed programs?" Which I do but it still shows.

you could just delete the files, but there will always be some files left, and registry entries.
the only way would be to Hard reset and start again (unless u know the exact location of every file etc).
What program is it btw?
Ok thanks.
Its mfrazzz CommManager_8button_wizard and it has screwed up my Comms window

Get MemMaid. It cleans you mobile from all bits and pieces left behind after installing and uninstalling software. It leaves it squeaky clean and you'll be amazed at the amount on memory space you've been throwing away to bits of software that no longer work!
Hi guys.. need a bit of help here.
I installed a cab file. Now I want to remove the cab installation using the Remove Program. This error message keeps popping up " xxxx was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed program" I tapped "yes" but it did nothing. The cab installation still remains in the Remove Program list.. I have already deleted the program manually. What could be wrong. TQ

Guys,
I'm not able to remove any programs via activesync from my wizard.
I can see the programs listed in activesync but I can't remove any of the installed programs; it's driving me crazy!
Please help!
Cheers,
Arne
Highlight a selected program and click remove- job done!
Alternatively uninstall programs from your PPC

That is exactly the problem; how do I remove a program from my PPC?
Because via Activesync doesn't work.....
The program I like to remove is minimo (mozilla for PPC's)
Thanks!
Have the same problem, Windows can not delete programfiles. When i install an update of a program, the setup failed. If i delete files manualy i can install the update. Had the same problem with original rom.

Try....
Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs.
This should do what you are after.
my dear friend thats the problem....by doing any of the above i cannot uninstall any programmes ...it say cant remove programmes but do u delet it from your list of removable progrrames...funny
Same here. Minimo would not uninstall
went to remove prog. it said it did but all it did was remove it from the remove programs list.
Hard reset here we go. Pocket mechanic was the same for me.
It's ok when you exactly know where the program is installed - you should simply delete its files. But how can I upgrade to .NET CF 2.0?
Installer can't remove previous version and I can't delete files manually cause I don't know what files to delete :-(
I've had the same problem trying to remove minimo and the Atomic Cannons Demo. :? So far these are the only items I have tried to uninstall. I just deleted the folders and shortcuts, but I'd rather figure out what's causing the problem!
Running the QTek test ROM (WWE) on a US Tmo MDA.
I also have that. however most of the time it works for me to soft-reset and then remove. for some reason that works (for me)
I would recommend a soft reset just prior to removing software from a WM5 PPC. WM5 only minimises most programs instead of closing them when you click the X so the application stays open therefore files are still in use which prevents a successful removal.
Even if the progam has been closed by Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs or a task manager like in SPB Pocket Plus there is a chance that there are still associated files locked open unless a soft reset is done before uninstall. Windows Applications on the desktop will normally prompt for a restart after uninstall if files were in use however it looks like the majority of Windows Mobile apps (or Windows itself) dont have the same functionality (some Mobile apps do prompt for restart but not very many).
Also, apps with today screen plugins should be disabled, before a soft reset then uninstall the app as WM seems to lock the files open when active on today screen as well.
I havent had the uninstall error once since i have done a soft reset before uninstalling any software, hopefully others will have the same success. I know this wont apply to every situation but so far so good for me. :wink:
Cheers

Puckster is right.Run your task manager to see all runing programs and close them before trying to uninstall or simply soft reset prior to uninstall.It works without a flaw.
I am trying to delete programs that I believe I don't need. I use WiFi and do not have T-Mobile Internet Plan. Would I create a problem if I delete the following:
DAT MailTrigger
OZ Communications OM IM
T-Mobile HotSpot Login Utility
Thank you!
Are these in your Remove Program list? If not, you may not able to 'uninstall' these nicely.
What I suggest is that you may want to have a look on your Ext ROM, get all the CABS file there. Use some CAB managers, to open each of them and see where they have places the files and delete them. If things goes wrong, you can always have it installed since you already know which CAB is responsible for which.
Or, if you can affort a hard reset, reset your device and do not allow the Ext ROM to be install (e.g. soft reset your device after the security setup). Then, go into your Ext ROM and install the CAB files one by one, to identify the CAB files that you do/do-not want to install. This will give you a clean installation.

Ys, these are in my Remove Program list. They are loaded apps/software that is part of the T-Mobile total package. I did not load these using a CAB file. I guess I will just take a chance and remove them and see what happens. Like you said below I can do a Hard Rest if I need to. Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it.

I remove those apps if I remember too and since I've never had a need for their functionality, I've never had a problem because of uninstalling them. All you really gain, however, is a tiny bit of memory...which is probably why I usually don't remember to remove them.
Just completed removing the following:
Memory Available Before/After Removal: (Saved
DAT MailTrigger 3450/3624 (174)
OZ Communications OM IM 3624/3629 (5)
T-Mobile HotSpot Login Utility 3629/4052 (423)
Restart after removal and no problems.
Thanks for your responses.
I am trying to free up memory on my Tilt. I have uninstalled all unwanted apps and decided to go directly to my Windows folder to delete unwanted files. I found different cab files and Windows Media files that appear to have been from the original ROM. However, the delete option is disabled for these files. Is there a good utility I can use to delete these files, without having to flash my device with a different ROM.
Thanks in advance
Nope. Those files are in the ROM and you can't remove them from the phone.
Technically you can if you know how to cook your own ROM
Soft reset after Hard reset
Thanks. I have read the trick on how to soft reset the device after hard reset and before the "provider" apps are installed. This worked great for me prior to WM 6.1, but it did not work with the latest 6.1 update. Is there a trick to getting it to work on 6.1, or is that no longer a valid way to get rid of those applications?

It still works -- you have to be quick. Have the pen in the reset hole and do it the instant after you tap the screen to continue

it usually shouldnt happen that way. was there any message stating that the uninstall was unsuccessful? perhaps u can soft-reset your phone and recheck your software list to see if its listed there
if u wanna uninstall it, and the file is still not there, try to locate the file in ur phone memory by browsing through the system folder. deleting the file there should be as good as removing the program. however it is a very unconventional method of doing it. anybody else has any thoughts?

well what u can do is try remove everything. the icon and everything. and try to install another keyboard. a htc keyboard or touch keyboard perhaps? or u could try to locate a .cab for finger keyboard on the forums and install it if you dont wanna remove anything from ur program files.
