\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
From there you can remove the link. Be aware that some remains of the program (probably registry keys and values) may still be on your phone after this.

I installed Nevo on my 8125, and I couldnt find it in the add/remove progs via activesync, so I just deleted the program folders and short cuts. Now there is just a blank .exe in my programs folder on the ppc. How would i remove this? thanx.
In your file explorer go to windows\start menu\programs and you should see that shortcut and be able to delete it.
Thank you mechle for posting that, its really annoying to have icons that arent linked to anything cluttering up program folders and start menus!!!
Hi
Is there a registry treak that will allow me to remove an icon from the programs folder,
I recently remove a program from the magican but for some reason the icon is still there, any ideas?
Thankx
You need to soft reset to make the icon disappear. Check with your explorer that the file in the programs folder is really gone first - Windows/StartMenu/Programs

Where is the icon appearing? If it is in the program folder then simply delete it by using explorer \windows\start menu\program.
Hi, have done everything you sugguested,
i even went to the registry and deleted everything that was associated with the program, everything seems to be deleted, the icon that remain isnt the normal icon that is displayed when the program is installed, but rather just a white box with a blue strip across the top with circles and the name of the program under it, if u try to run the program an error notification occurs that the program is missing.
You are descibing what happens when Windows has not updated itself to reflect the deleted program. A soft reset should always force Windows to update. If this is not working for you then try reinstalling the program again and then delete it using the "remove programs" in settings/system then soft reset. If that still does not work then it may indicate that Windows is corrupted and a hard reset may be required.
Wait with hard resetting! You can always navigate to \windows\start menu\programs using file explorer or better total commander and delete the shortcut there. I did the same thing for a orphan shortcut to Egress, which I uninstalled properly from the add/remove menu :?
I recently uninstalled a few programs from my cingular 8125. After removing them however they are still listed in the programs menu with generic icons. How would I remove them completely?
With file explorer goto windows\start menu\programs - find the links and delete them.
Thanks!!!!!
Hi - I've recently installed some programs on my Diamond, some of which were not compatible, so I deleted the files for these from my Program Files folder in Internal Storage.
However, the icons for these deleted programs are still in the programs menu - how do I get rid of these icons?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Delete the shortcuts in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
With File Explorer go to the "Windows" Folder on the Main Storage (Not Internal Storage), then go to the "Start Menu" Folder and then the "Programs" Folder. The icons should be somewhere in there.
A very overdue THANKS to you two - I somehow managed to lose the link to this thread and couldn't find my post again. n00b uselessness, I'm afraid.
well if your dealing with just a shortcut, you could use a program called SK tools, under a category there is a function there on removing BAD Shortcuts...
or option two, you could do it manually, install a resco file explorer got to Windows/Start Menu/ Programs and choose the applicatiion shortcut you want to delete then tap it then delete...
Hope that helped you...
You can also remove it with ActiveSync,after your connected go to mobile device-windows mobile based device-windows-startmenu-programs.Here you can select the shortcut you want to delete.
the program is uninstalled but the icons are still there. how to i remove them?
x2
I don't own X2 but I would expect it's similar to other wm devices: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\...
all you have to do is delete them there
best
didnt say it in my previous post but i already did that ;(
If you had really deleted the corresponding entries in the start menu folder you would not have any shortcuts there. Because that's what a program does when it is installed. It places a shortcut either in the start menu folder (visible in the start menu) or in its subfolder programs (visible in the programs menu). I recommend you check again those two folders for shortcuts and if you find some you delete them. The folders are
windows\start menu
and
Windows\start menu\programs
Depending on the language of your rom these foldes can be named slightly different.
P.S. Make sure you use a decent file explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer which show hidden files too.
