remove animated weather on 6.5

[great2c4me]

I've hardset my tp2 [6.5] - on it, I knew that setting up the animated weather hogs up all the memory and makes my phone freeze up so that I have to reboot and can't run any other programs.
I thought I might've been able to view the weather without setting it up on my home screen - well, I was wrong. now it's set up and it's doing just that... freezing up and not running.
how do I back it up, as if I never made that choice...
Shoot, am I the only one having this problem?
P.S. I've been searching thread after thread... I couldn't find anything.
thanks in advance.
