If you hard reset, it will all be back. But when the software on ROM is installed, no un-install info is registered. So if you install the same version, it basically puts the un-install info in the registry. Then when you tell it to uninstall it removes the files from the Windows system AND removes the registry entries. You COULD do it all manually, but who wants to dig all the entries outta their registry? It DOES work, I use it all the time to remove SkyFire beta 6 so I can add beta 8. I also use it on HTC Audio Manager because my rom installs it wrong. So I install the .cab, remove it all together, then install it again so that it goes in properly.
