Unable to remove programs

Hi all,
From some time I'm unable to properly remove any installed software, doesnt matter if it was just installed seconds ago or while ago. When I try to remove, I'm getting: "Some_software was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from list of installed programs?".
In fact, nothing is removed. I tried soft reset few times. Also, I'd like to avoid hard reset since its quite a lot of work. Someone maybe possibly have an idea how to fix it avoiding hard-reset?
thanks,
Chris

try to remove the program using Activesync. Maybe it will help you.
thanks

The only way to remove all the files is to ask the software developers for a list of files / extentions. I had this problem when trying out different software and found when trying to re install some, the re installation failed. After removing all the files, I was able to re install.

When you try to uninstall a program which has components running in the background you will fail.
If you make a softreset and try to uninstall it again, you will success.
Another choice to uninstall these programs: it seems totally defferent than the problem, but when I use vijay555's phone-kill application I can uninstall immediately those ununinstallable softs.
That's it.
It works.

Cant uninstall any programs ??

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

Maybe its running in the background when you uninstall it/ or if you have it there (installed) in the storage card it creates problems getting uninstalled.
Try to close the program fully By shutting it down from the Task manager..With the task manager open
Go to MENU>VIEW>CHANGE MODE
See if any instance of World mate is running there.
If you have partially uninstalled it, try reinstalling it and perform a reset.
Try to uninstall it by going to Add Remove Progs. in the phone.
If the problem persists, try removing it thru the Add remove progs. in the active sync.
All the best.

You are right jeasbe. I have installed my Worldmate to my storage card. I'm currently not using any task manager program. What would you recommend? Is memmaid one of these? I also tried uninstalling after the soft reset thing just to clean that worldmate was'nt running but to no avail of success in deleting it. Also looked at the running programs before deletion just to make sure it is not running. I even accidentally deleted the list from the rmove programs, and the program was still there. Is there any way to manually delete these files thru registry?

Literally Speaking the best method still would be to DELETE the folder from your \storage\Program Files\world mate (or whatever)
Then perform a fresh Install, this time in the Phone memory.
Then go for a soft reset.
Do not open World mate.
The world mate shall be there in the ADD REMOVE prog list By now.
Go to add-remove progs and perform a Remove.
Hopefully this shall delete the traces of world mate from your Phone.
U can manually delete the folder safely from ProgramFiles\world mate (from the phone memory this time)
Before U try anything stupid I suggest..Please do take a backup...
I take risks with my Data coz I have it spread over my other O2Xda as well as On My outlook....
All the Best

If I have to unistall some program I use the MemMaid. These program really erase what you want.

Thanks

help please

I've download the manilla files so i could have touch flo 3d working on my HTC Pro, meanwhile when a restarted the phone an error displayed saying that i had to download a newer version of NET Framwork, i did, know the program cant be installed because it's saying i have an other version of NET FC and i have to uninstall it. HElP! how do i do that? Meanwhile i can't receive any calls, and i really depend on the phone to work.
Could anyone help me please?
Cheers

Just go to Settings -> Remove Programs and remove the older version of NET CF.
I believe the latest version of Compact Framework is 3.5.
Oh, and make sure you´re installing NET COMPACT Framework, which is the version for Windows Mobile, and not the NET Framework for PCs.
