Thanks for any help you can give.

I have noticed that some programs will not uninstall completely if they are still running in the background. Doing a soft-reset or manually stopping processes using a task manager such as dotfred's might help to uninstall those programs. Its worked a handful of times for me. For the times it didn't work... well, I flash my device pretty often so its no big deal.

And it does MUCH MUCH MORE besides uninstalling...

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately I did try this but It will only show 6 apps at a time because it is in demo mode and it won't show the right ones! :(

Re: Uninstaller?

You may need to go into the registry and manually remove some keys. I believe SKTools will allow this. I know Total Commander (free) will get you into the registry to do the necessary surgery

Weeeell I don't really want to do that just yet. It is only a few programs and only a few kbs of data at the moment. Just wanted to try to be prepared for future stuff. :)

Ahhh! Well maybe. I have tried to delete some folders with the stock file explorer but it wouldn't allow me to. Maybe TC will!?

As far as I'm concerned, the best way to uninstall most programs is to hard reset & then restore the Sprite backup file you made right before installing any new/untested software........

Yes. Total Commander will get you into the registry. File explorer is just a simple file manager. Don't believe it will get you into the registry. You'll go into HKLM\Software to find the keys you need to remove.
