I have used Settings>System>Remove Programs to remove a game but it did not totally remove everything and the program name still exists in the program list displayed in the Remove Programs app. Can I access the list and manually delete it?
Think you need to navigate to WINDOWS->START MENU->PROGRAMS there should be a bunch on .lnk files those lnk files drive the program list
nope, that doesn't do it
The .lnk files seem to be shortcuts to the main programs. The program I'm trying to delete from the Program list that appears in the Remove Programs app doesn't even have a shortcut there. Meaning that this Program list must be located somewhere else. Does anyone know where?
What happens when you try to uninstall it again?
I get a message that reads "...was not completely removed. Do you wish to remove it from the list of installed programs?" If I say "Yes", it still does not remove it.
you may want to give the program a try:
Tms Uninstaller: Will allow you to delete programs that don't show up in the normal remove programs. Direct download in link. (freeware) ~ Thanks Senax
I stumbled across that the other day while trolling for apps n tweaks...you can find the info and cab file here in the 1st post of " Software worth installing on the TP2 *Continuously Updated, links in thread* [Nov 25] " Thread:

Thanks. That program did it. Nice little app for removing programs. It said it had to delete something from the Registry. Maybe the Program list is there somehow??
No. It's back!
Spoke too soon. That app seemed to remove the program from the list but it's reappeared! Can anyone help?
lmao...that sucks...attempt to reinstall it then delete it...
You've got company
I too am dealing w/this issue. I've even resorted to deleting everything related in the registry to no avail! Now I cannot find the cab for DHR CommMgrPro. I was going to try to installing & uninstalling again. POOP!!

Hello,
My 9090 has been changed, and I reinstalled everything.
I get from time to time a message "Notification error" "Impossible to execute My Documents\Data\pCTimer.exe".
Has someone got this file, in the same folder or one else ?
Where should it come from, and what's the use ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean-Jacques
I really dont know what is that.. but sure you can try to backup and delete the file from Windows\Startup
The fact is I miss this file, there is no data folder in My Documents :shock:
Anyone who has got the file PCTimer.exe, how did you ?
Feel free to send a link or any info.
Jean-Jacques
Did a hardboot and reinstalled.
Data folder dtill missing, but no more warning. 8)

Some program was at some time installed into your "My Documents\Data" directory, and added itself to your notification database. You've since removed the application, but the removal didn't get rid of the database entry, which is why you were getting this error.
You could have gotten a utility like Anoton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic (Look at http://www.antontomov.com), which would allow you to look at all the entries in the Notification database and even remove the offending entry.
This would have saved you hard resetting your device.
I've had a similar problem with eWallet 4.0 installed on my SD card, where I'd get an error like that if my XDA shut off before I closed eWallet.
Ok i've just thought of two things that are getting kinda irritating on my M5000.
Firstly the fact that no programs seem to un-install, Every time i try to remove any progs i get an error telling me that the uninstall was unsucsessful and asking if i wish to remove it fromt the list of installed progs.
Anyone else have this problem? is there anything we can do about it or is it a case of manually removing everything?
the other thing is the hotmail email account, i dont ever use hotmail and it annoys me having to scroll through the extra account in messaging. is there a way to remove the hotmail account?
Regarding your uninstalling problem. If it happens on all programs you try to uninstall, then your uninstaller is corrupted. If it only happens on one program, then it's probably just that the uninstall information of that program is corrupted. You may want to try other utilities to do the uninstalling (eg. SKTools).
About the hotmail, well, that's easy. Go to Messaging -> Tools -> Options, tap and hold on Hotmail, then Delete.
Have you deleted some files from "windows\appmgr" ??
I've not deleted or changed any files at all. i've had this prob with all three handsets i've had and never been able to remove programs. even since brand new. programs include sbp pocket plus sbp gprs, tom tom, code north irc, resco explorer.
i've just done a hard reset but not installed any exrom cab's so in the next few days i might figure out whats wrong.
i'm sure i've tried to delete the hotmail account before iirc the delete option was greyed out. again i'll have a look when i'm home.
FIRST: If the files have today plug-ins, you first need to disable those plug-ins prior to uninstalling.
SECOND: Have you ever tried changing your bootsplash screen using EnableRapi.CAB? If your answer is YES, then that is the culprit.
To bypass these problems, try to install the same file again, your Universal will show a window stating you need to uninstall the program 1st, press YES, then your Universal will also ask you later where to install it. You can cancel the install if all you want is REMOVE the application completely, or install the UPDATED application if that was what your initial intention.

You are talking about MRU list, when you run program it places own icon into MRU list, if you don't want to wait, run 3-5 different programs and they pull out your "dead" icon.
Why can't I "Remove Programs"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using a S621 (aka S620, aka Excalibur, aka Dash) running WM6 and when I select Remove Programs (Start>Settings>More>Remove Programs) there are no programs on the list at all.
Ideas?
What is it that you want to remove? What 3rd party apps have you installed?
Any app that is part of the installed ROM won't show up in the remove programs.
If you install 50 or more apps to your device the remove program list will be blank when accessing it from settings. You will have to use activesync from your PC to remove programs.

Really? That is strange. That was probably the problem.
Anyways I had been meaning to change from the Russian ROM to the HTC Official one for a while anyways, so I just did that last night. So it doesn't matter anymore (as upgrading removed all my programs, of course), but that is good to know for the future. Thanks.

Need help REMoviNG application please?
I downloaded some applications that i decided that i didnt need (Yahoo Go, Streaming Media Player, Etc)
When i delete them out of my Folders, i still have the icon in the Start menu...is there anyway to remove the icon?
Thanks
Go to settings, page 2, click on remove programs, then choose which ones you want to remove.
If you have total commander you can take em off easily. just open total commaner, go to windows-start menu. Go to icon you want to remove and hit file softkey and delete. Takes off start menu.
Never Do That Unless Everything Else Isn't Possible
You should always go to remove programs like stated above. It's in Settings then more then remove programs. Always, do that instead of just deleting the folders. It removes everything.
Removing programs that come with rom
Hey was wondering if anyone knows how to uninstall programs such as Office mobile, command processor, orneta calculator, resco explorer, cele task just to name a few. I am running ricky's v23 and they were built into rom. I know i can flash to vanilla rom but I like the fact omap clock thats built in keeps setting on what you choose with no further need to set it again. Also like alot of his built in features so dont really wanna flash if i dont have to but wanna free up space and get rid of stuff i don't want. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
As far as I know, you can't but there is a way but i think it is complicated. I don't quite remember what you are supposed to do but i think you'd have to basically re-cook the ROM to your personal preference. The best person to ask this would be rickywatt himself. Get in touch with him and he'll guide you in the right direction. hope everything works out the way you want it !
If you look in Rickys thread, previous ROMS, he has a "vanilla" version.
Thats the one you are looking for.

I think he just doesnt want to flash the phone, thats the reason why he was trying to find out on how to do it. it kinda takes some time to get the phone the way you like it after you flash it, I would like to know how to get rid of those programs as well with out having to flash the phone.
Remove Programs Problem
Hello,
I am trying to remove some programs I have installed, however when I go into settings > remove programs, the list is blank. I have let it sit for up to 10 minutes hoping that it would populate but no luck. I am able to remove programs with active sync. I have used the remove programs feature with no trouble in the past. Have any of you ever had this problem or know what could be preventing programs from showing up in the list?
How many programs did you have installed? I remember there used to be a problem with WM6.0 where, if you had over a certain number of programs installed, the list wouldn't display.
I have the new 1.33 Brightpoint ROM installed. I was wondering if there was any way to remove the ClearVue Office programs from my phone? I was just going to use the Windows Mobile Office cab that I found on this forum.
FSame here for the latest HTC rom.
Possible Solution
I found the files but don't have access to delete them.
Shorcuts located in \Windows are named : "ClearVue <and 1 of the 3 apps>".
If you check the properties you'll notice that the executable for these are located in \Windows\WTCVDocV.exe (that's the DOC one for example).
Then after doing this (you should make sure just in case), you can delete the files. Mine were:
wtcvdocv.exe
wtcvpres.exe
wtcvwsv.exe
You probably have to remove the folder that's in the start menu also.
Anyone know how to get around the permissions issue?
As these files are would be located in ROM there is not much you can do. ROM uses a different storage format from conventional files that is set up when the ROM is built, so deleting them isn't really an option - maybe there is some way to hide them though.. Probably the best thing to do is to forget about them
Now that I found this again, maybe this clears the question up a bit:

Thanks for the info!
I appreciate the info!
There has to be a way to get around this - Registry hack or some other kind of work-around. If anyone knows - Please be kind enough to share the knowledge
as we know on Windows PC, ADD/REMOVE programs tends to leave some registry files or some small junk files behind in the System, and we had to clean those up using some 3rd party software ( example: Your Uninstaller! 2008 )
ok so is there any software that works like that for WM? or for X1?
or is the Remove Program that comes from WM default pretty much un-install all the registry or junk files along without leaving it behind, so it's like never been installed.., because i hate to have some un-associated left overs files on my Phone even if it's just 1kb
thanks.
With the sktools you can 'really remove' apps installed on the X1. I only use this method and it feels really better than before
how does it work? it removes all the associated files along till a very "clean" uninstall?
When you click that you want to uninstall a program, the application shows you every reg-string and file that is connected to the programm. Then you can choose to delete those.
sounds like a kick ass app
thanks!
hmm, ok i need a bit of a help here
so there are a list of the types here..
which one do i install...
WM 2003(SE), WM5/WM6 Classic and Professional, (W)QVGA and (W)VGA zipped PC Install
WM 2003(SE) (W)VGA zipped CAB file unzipped CAB
WM 2003(SE) (W)QVGA zipped CAB file unzipped CAB
WM5/WM6 (W)VGA zipped CAB file unzipped CAB
WM5/WM6 (W)QVGA zipped CAB file unzipped CAB
also they have standard, lite..
what are their differences?
the only freeware is the SK Lite..

de wolfe... I have the SKTools and I have no idea what is the difference between standard uninstall and uninstall. What is the difference?
Standard uninstall is what it sais, the same thing windows does. The uninstall SKtools provides does the more thorough job.
You'll need "WM5/WM6 (W)VGA zipped CAB file unzipped CAB" TweFoju.
ok thanks
and another thing
it's on trial and total of 6 entries only
do you know how to make it full version?
some sort of a serial number to activate it or something?
that would be so awesome
Come on, dude. The app costs around 10€. Good investment!

Yes, buy it! You may not ask for cracks, keygens or other illegal software here.
For your info, if you go to the SKKV site, they are currently offering 50% off their products including SKTOOLS.

I have no affliation, other than loving a bargain
alright, i decided to purchase it
so far so good
i only have a couple of newb questions left ( sorry, im not very advanced with these kind of stuffs )
all i want to know is, which of the category is safe to perform? at least for a beginner user like me that will not know what to do if something gone wrong
i mean like, there is a "Advanced Clean" that im not sure what it will delete
so far, i only used "Invalid Registry Entries", "Temporary and Junk Files", "Temporary amd Cache Folders" and of course the "Clean!"
i kinda wanna use the "Invalid Registry Values" and "Advanced Clean", but i dont know what will they delete..
i fear those 2 might delete some of the important files because the list that came out was like the Panel stuffs and all
and also i wanted to check the "Bad/Old Uninstall Info" part
but not sure what will it delete..
oh yeah and 1 more thing.. when on the "Installed Programs"
i saw some of the software that are pre-installed by SE have some 1 to 3 missing registry that is written in a red text.. is that some problem or it' just like that from the factory settings?
or is it better for me to re-install those particular software that are missing some files / registry ?
thanks again.. sorry if these are all silly questions
all i want to know is, which of the category is safe to perform? at least for a beginner user like me that will not know what to do if something gone wrong
Class I Unsafe:
Invalid Registry Entries
Invalid Registry Values
Notifications Queue
[These are dangerous because on some Xperia's they will probably delete the registry settings for Panel Manager ... they always delete my panel manager registry settings and make my panel manager not work]
[Notifications Queue ... I am not sure how unsafe it is to mess with it, but I think messing with it will make scheduled programs not work]
Class II Unsafe:
Registry Explorer
[it's not dangerous if you follow directions from pros or know exactly what you are doing]
Class III Unsafe:
Processes
Services
[if you terminate a process when it is doing something, you might cause data corruption...i terminated my media panel and it totally destroyed my library and prevented from updating the MP3, Pics, and Videos]
[services can be reverted back to original settings, unlike deleting invalid registries]
i mean like, there is a "Advanced Clean" that im not sure what it will delete
Advanced clean is absolutely safe
so far, i only used "Invalid Registry Entries", "Temporary and Junk Files", "Temporary amd Cache Folders" and of course the "Clean!"
When you deleting invalid registry entries, make sure you know deleting that entry actually is the right thing to do. If you have no idea what it does then don't delete it....
You can undo it right now by tapping on SKTools Backup
i kinda wanna use the "Invalid Registry Values" and "Advanced Clean", but i dont know what will they delete..
Advance clean is totally safe, and invalid registry values are not at all
and also i wanted to check the "Bad/Old Uninstall Info" part
Safe
i saw some of the software that are pre-installed by SE have some 1 to 3 missing registry that is written in a red text.. is that some problem or it' just like that from the factory settings?
It's missing values and you wouldn't know why, just ignore it if you're program works. I have alot of these and I have no problem
thanks for that man!! but how do we know if the registry is the panel one? i found the registrybackup folder on "My Documents"
well so far, the registry cleaner only delete 14 registry files... and i have no idea what registry file it belongs to
if only i could rep, i would
Well I try to look up for the date in which I deleted the registry.
um? sorry i dont get your meaning
what does the deletion date has anything to do ?
what i meant is that, i deleted some registry
but how do i know if which registry belong to which app?
because they are just all written in some numbers like {AIU123456} so on and on

{AIU123456} means that the registry key is called {AIU123456}. I could be wrong. Try opening \my documents\registrybkup and copy a .rgb file into the PC and see if you can view it as a notepad.
