How does one uninstall a program NOT in Remove Programs ? Installed 2, they appear under programs, but none show up in Remove.
delete the files with a program like total commander and maybe remove a link in \windows\startup if the program is autorun
and then clean up using SKTools
also, using SKTools you can see programs which sometimes do not appear in the regular WM Remove Programs app

Since there is so much bloatware loaded into ROMs, it would be great to make a list of files that are safe to delete after an upgrade, I think most users (myself included) carry around a bunch of junk they never use just because they don't know where to delete it or are afraid to... anyone wanna start a list of folders and files you can clean out? List any files you delete and any known issues with deleting them (ie if you delete contact.gif, x will happen when a call comes in)
My Documents/My Pictures has photos you don't need.
SystemHeap in the root directory is from Sprite backup, I usually delete it
Garmin QUE: you can simply load the detail basemap on the storage card, and remove the 5MB lite basemap in your main memory
Zagat2GO: You can edit your registry and move the entire program and guides to the storage card, just search the reg and replace Program Files with Storage card under each Zagat listing.... you may have to recreate the shortcut.
What about in the Windows directory? There has to be a bunch of "extras" not needed...
We definately need 'nLite' for these ROMS!!

I need to remove Agile Messenger from my XDA. When I do, I get a message which says, "Uninstall unsuccessful. The program was not removed because these files are in use or are read only."
The files concerned are:
\Programme Files\AgineMobile\messenger.exe
and
\Windows\AMWatcher.dll.
Please someone advise me as to what I can do to remove these files as my XDA 1 won't let me do so - thanks.
if it's today item is present then remove it first
and softreset if it still will not delete it then look in
windows\autostart if there is something related to
it which autostart
Can I delete items from the desktop of my XDA. There is an Agile Messenger message there that I do not want and do not know how to remove it.
Thanks.
My expirience: many of apps requires registry cleaning...
system->today->item
uncheck the ones you dont want
otherwise you need to edit your registry to remove the items
I see 4 files.
AutoShortcut.lnk
HTCStartUp.lnk
reloadnls.exe
Voice Command.lnk
Can anyone tell me what they do and if it's OK to delete them from the startup folder?
BR,
K
if would prob google the names if i didn't know what they did
do know that if you delete "Voice Command.lnk"
ms voice commander will not work anymore so if you delete it you
may as well uninstall the program as that will remove the shortcut too
