Hi I installed a program that did not work with WM5, I subsequently removed it using the Remove Program amplet.
However it still shows on the Program page.
How do I remove it from there?

Well after applying a couple tweaks to my KJAM. I have a problem now, I cant uninstall any program. I go to add remove and select remove it then says cant remove, do i want to delete from program list. I also cant reinstall the same app...unless i delete the old directory manually. It seems to me that it is some form of read only protection. any ideas ??
I'm getting the same error as well. I used to have an app on my Jam that would uninstall files and its better then the built in uninstaller. Right now i'm lookin for it but can't remember its name..
i got the same problem
Same here :twisted:
I have had that problem as well. I have found that if I soft reset the device, then run the uninstall, the program is conmpletely removed without issue. I believe that this error is caused by something related to the program still running in the background.

Tried using ActiveSync to add/remove programs?
I too have the same problem and i soft reset to properly uninstall anything.
You can use SKtools 2.3.30 at http://s-k-tools.com/ to uninstall any program you wish to
works well? thanks for the suggestion
Have noticed that after installing a few apps lately and wanting to remove them, there doesnt seem to have the application names listed within the Remove Programs in settings!...All my currently installed applications are visible but only those that i've installed over the past few days are not. I've had to manually delete entries withing the registry and program files to physically get rid of them. Any ideas. Thanks and apologies if I've missed this in another thread.
Had a similar case... I've installed a few programs.... Then try to install a new one. Installation completed, working but not listed in the removing list... And when I get another one out, magic, it appears.... Strange...
funny you mention it, ive noticed this in the last few days aswell, never had any of em reappear, but i can see em listed in registry just not in Activesync add/remove or on remove progams on the device.
Yep same problem not all programs delete via activesync 4.1
I installed several programms and uninstalled them using activesync 4.1 ... they dont uninstall, even when i ensure that nothing is running or linked..
They dont uninstall from device itself either so I had to manually delete them its a nuisance.
recently I am having a strange behavior each time I uninstall an app which is installed on the Sd card: the following msg appears
The application could not be removed properly. Do you wnat to remove it from the list of installed applications?
I say yes and it simply removes the entry from the list, of course: then i have to go manually and delete app folder and link.
Any1 knows why? And if some traces will be left behind?
Thanks
If that message appears you can try this:
1. Click on "No".
2. Softreset the device.
3. Try it again.
Make sure that:
1) The SD is not write protected (check the little switch)
2) No part of the program is running / used - not today plugin, menu addon anything.
program is not running
sd is not write protected
no today plugins
and did soft reset many times but still the same problem, for all applications
I am facing the very same problem. The apps do not uninstall at all and their entries from the 'remove programs' is lost.
How do i remove programs that i installed on the device???
Do all the installed progs showup on the add/remove list???
^yes they are in the Remove Programs list....lol.

I'm sorry to tell you this but you will not be able to remove any of those apps because they are baked as part of the ROM unless you flashed another ROM that the chef's cooked here that is the only way to remove them or if you know how to cook a ROM yourself.
This is what I did to remove the apps:
- Start up the application.
- Hopefully you are running and out-of-date version of the app. When they start up they will check for updated software.
- It will prompt you to download and install the updated software. Install the update.
- After installation is complete, close the app.
- Check the Remove Programs panel, it should now display the app(s) you just installed, allowing you to remove them.
Its a bit of work, but this method allowed me to get rid of most of the useless apps on the HD2.
I think you just have to delete the folder for the app to make it disappear. Haven't tried it myself but if you're never going to use it anyway, what's the harm?
Thanks to all...I will will try to run the program and check for updates...i updated my ROM to 2.13 hasnt made a difference tho...I will keep trying!
i deleted
you can delete them i deleted from the file explorer/totalcomander i did and i dont have the apps on my start menu anymore

Did you just delete the links from the "start menu" folder, or did you try removing the program files themselves?
That is the first thing I did when I got my phone... and the first thing I will do after installing the new rom. Plug it into your computer, explore it as you would any other external drive, and delete the entire folders.... there goes the apps you do not want....

It doesn't work with Opera.
I have deleted the B&N eReader, BlockBuster and MobiTV by just deleting the directories they were in. Also went into the Start Menu folder in the Windows folder and deleted their icons there so they don't show up in the Start Menu.
I have been unable to delete the Facebook application because the files are in the Windows directory and are read only.

But this doesn't guarantee you removed unwanted registry entries that can bog down your system.

You can do what Paten suggested and then take the final step of running memmaid, it has the ability to clean out reg entries orphaned by removed programs.
