Unable to remove some of the applications

[ Edited ]

Last week I installed a free java application which worked fine. Now I want to remove this application but couldn't find it in Application Manager and also when I select the Application and hit C nothing happens I can move it within Application folder or somewhere else but can not remove it.

Can someone please help me. By the way I have N82. Thanks.

Re: Unable to remove some of the applications

How to remove an application or game

1. From the main standby screen press menu

2. Select "Settings".

3. Select "Application Manager".

4. Select "Installed Applications".

5. Click once on the app you want to remove.

6. Select "Options", then "Uninstall", then "Yes".


Note that this removal also deletes the app's installation file

If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Re: Unable to remove some of the applications

Thanks for the reply.

As I mentioned in my first post application which I want to remove is not listed in the Application Manager. I mostly select card as destination to install application. So I was asking as it is not visible in App. Mgr. can I browse the card and remove this app.like sometimes we do in windows. though I am unable to remove the app. it is running perfectly but i don't need it.

Re: Unable to remove some of the applications

Hi,

 

Before you just delete the application, try the following. Install the application again . This time, it will mostly ask if you want to replace the already installed application. Give ok and continue.

 

After installation, goto application manager and the application would be mostly listed there. Now uninstall the application. (try restarting the phone after installing)

 

 If this does not work, you can just delete the corresponding application folder in the memory card.I have done this before and I think that there are 2 folders that you have to delete for a java application (However, I dont know if this is the correct method and better make a backup)

Is it possible that the application is still running when you go to Uninstall it? Symbian Apps can be forced to close during the uninstallation phase (via a user confirmation prompt), but I don't believe Java applications can. Make sure it is not running in the background. If you provide details about the application you're trying to remove, more help may be able to be provided.

 

Cheers,
