Uninstalling Proggies

I used to go to Tools > App. Mgr.  to uninstall programs on the E61.  I try out alot of demos and trial software and sometimes I feel like some of them slow down my E61 and I get into the mood of spring cleaning.  Its just that waiting for App.Mgr. to populate the list of installed programs so I can delete them takes too long.

I found a better method.  Just find the icon of the program you want to purge.

Click Options and then Remove.  I found this to be a much more efficient method of cleaning out unwanted programs in the E61.  I’m not sure if most of you guys do this already, but coming from a non-symbian phone, I’m not really that accustomed to doing even the most basic process, so it’s a new learning curve.  Also, not all installed apps show up on the App.Mgr.

I only wish that deleting themes would work the same way.  I found certain themes to be stubbornly uninstallable.

    Or just select the application icon and hit backspace on E61. I’m happy I found this little trick the very first day I got my E61. Did it by accident and im happy I did.

    I’m trying to remove themes that are taking up memory. They do not show up in the app manager, so there is no icon there to delete. The options key doesn’t give remove as an option. How to I get rid of them?

    You can remove themes by going to the Applications Manager and removing them like you would any normal application. You can’t remove them from the Themes page (though I’ve no idea why not). Hope this helps :)

    Some themes do not show up in the Application Manager but are still listed on the Themes page (for instance ‘Black Nokia’ in my case). Any suggestions to get rid of them?

    Thanx
