Completely Uninstalling programs

Sorry if there is an answer somewhere already, but I have been looking around for 20 minutes and I'm giving up and posting a thread. I have like five programs that won't uninstall when I go into the settings-->remove programs application. It comes up with a message that says "XXXX was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
Has anybody had this also? How do I get it completely off my phone/get the memory back?
One more thing, I have a program called "AA AA" and I know for sure that I didn't install a cab with that name, so what the hell is it? I'm a noob with WinMo so sorry if it's simple **** haha.
Thanks in advance

For programs that say they didn't uninstall completely, the method I use to get them out is this:
1) run the cab again, the same one you used to install a/the app in the first place
2) when it gives you option or error dialogs, just click "ok" or "yes" to all of them, to allow it to go through what looks like another complete install process (yes, it's odd, but this is how to do it).
3) when it's done, soft-reset, and then you should find that there's no more trace of the app in your uninstall list.
Don't ask me how/why that works, but I've used it in many instances for just that reason, and it's worked every time I tried it.
As for that "AA AA" app, I've certainly never seen a cab that used that name (fyi, the name in the uninstall list doesn't necessarily match the name of the cab file...only if the person creating it set it up that way). So...I'd just say uninstall it, and see if any apps/links are missing then.

This thread is closest to my problem,so I'm asking here.
I cant uninstall ANY of my programs, I have tried the usual method from the remove programs section in Settings. I get same error as OP.
When that failed I then try to just delete the program folder from program files, using file explorer, but get an error saying 'Access is denied. Be certain the folder isn't in use and not write protected'
At first I thought I had a memory card problem, but its the same regardless of where the program is installed.
I also tried to re-install the programs from their cab files as described above, but get an 'unsuccessful' message.
I cant rename any files anywhere on my device either.
I know a little about write protection, but cant figure out what my problem is or how to fix it.
I hope I explained properly for someone to help.
Thanks.

It looks like that the installer process "wceload.exe" was not correctly quit and is still in the memory. Terminate the process wceload.exe with a task manager and try again.

Thanks ElectronX.
I did a search on my HD2 for the file you mentioned and couldn't find it. I have Duttys task manager installed and after a soft reset, the problem still remains. The task manager is empty of processes when I start the device.
Im sorry that Im a bit clueless to how to achieve what you suggest.

I have discovered that the problem extends beyond removing and installing programs. I cant do anything in file explorer other than open documents. If I want to move, delete, rename any file on the device I get the 'write protected' error message. I cant do it via active sync either..I connected to the computer and could browse my device, but if I tried deleting, moving or renaming, the message said it didn't have permission to do it.
Last resort is a hard reset, but hopefully someone will be able to help.

Use sktools to uninstall when windows fails. Best program ever...
Good luck

Thanks, but I cant install anything on my device...can sktools be run from my computer to fix the device?

Unfortunately not...
Good luck though..

where can i find my download history? i have downloaded something online and it doesn't work when i tried to open it. my phone says "no application to support this file", maybe because i didn't get it from the android market. now i decided to just delete it, i can't seem to find my downloaded files. can anyone pls help? thanks!

download what ?....from the browser?.....try checking the sd card......there should be a folder called 'downloads'
and about the ''no application to support this file" .....what type of file is it?
you'll need to install some apps that supports those type of files

upgrade nEeded!
thanks for the reply ahmed. im now confused about my downloaded files. i dont know which ones to delete because maybe they're important. it also lags for quite sometime now. i want to give up on my phone if it won't do me any better. can you please tell me what version of my android 2.0 is best to upgrade to? can i do 4.0.3? if not, can u suggest what is best? it would be a huge help. maybe it would help my fone's performance. thank you!!! so much..

in addition, everytime i download an app, it goes to my internal memory so later on, i get "low disk space" alert. how can i reroute the succeeding downloads to my sd card? thanks again. huge help

[Q] Cannot get mobile hotspot mod to work

Followed the directions to a tee and get this error when trying to turn on mobile hotspot through settings:
"Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped."
Anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Yeah i had the same problem and couldnt figure out how to solve it. Honestly i just ended up installing Clean Rom and it started working. If you dont want to do that make sure that your permissions are correct and retry (it didnt help me though).

Same Problem

I've run into the same problem.
Permissions are set, the old apk and odex removed, and new one placed in. Am I missing something?
I am going to hold off on installing the clean rom for now but if this persists, I will install the rom.
Ironically, this is the only problem I have ever run into in development of android since the original droid because this seems like a very simple copy/delete modification.
Any advice or help from anyone is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

**************
I had the same problem, but it was because I had copied the file incomplete. Check the size of the file is the correct one, I found out that the file size is 96kb and the one I had copied in the phone was 4kb. Once I copied the correct file, I left the permissions as default (rw-rw-rw--) not sure if it matters, but once the phone booted I was able to use the Hot Mobile Spot.
Thanks,

Size of my file is right, permissions set as you describe. I can connect the laptop to the phone, but it does not give me internet access. Help!

If you are getting the force close of the com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui and you have followed all the other steps and cant figure out what the issue is, try going to the application manager in settings, then find the Provision app and click the Uninstall Updates (it's the top right button). As soon as I did that it worked fine.
