How to uninstall programs properly?

You should always have a backup of your contacts (PIM backup) on your mini.

Oh and another thing, if your ROM is working to your satisfaction, the extraneous programs aren't really hurting anything, e.g. you can't use the space for anything but the ROM and can't use it for program space. If you want different kitchen supplied programs, then yes, reflash.

Thanks for your courtesy.
So I just have to go back to build kitchen..put programs I want like I am starting over and It knows a previous kitchen is there and will replace with whole new setup. This takes a long time, or will it just know to replace programs not 6.1 again???

i use a backup that can store 'all data' or just 'PIM' backup (High Tech 3.1) to mini sd but dont know if it works well and if it restores "all Data" to original without missing hidden files. It does work with PIM so far.

This came in handy since 4.5 activesync will not let me sync contacts (6.1 WM and 2003 outlook) so I think I will try 4.0...

Thanks
