Default How to uninstall something that does not show up on the remove pgm list?

Hello all. I went and made a mistake on installing my very first program, and appear to have downloaded the wrong one. I tried to uninstall it with Start>Settings>Remove programs, but it is not listed. Any thoughts? I'm a little wary of just deleting it.

It was Pocketnester. However, after finding these setup instructions: http://www.qusers.com/article.php/20060724213821271 it is now working well, and I don't need to delete it. Thank you for the reply!

All you have to do is go in and delete the pocketnester.exe file and you are good to go...

For future reference, if the program you want to uninstall is not shown on your Remove Programs list, you can uninstall the program through ActiveSync on your PC. When your Q is connected to your PC, in the ActiveSync window on your PC, there is an option under Tools to Add/Remove Programs.

Thank you. It doesn't show up there either though.

I have pocketnester installed (& working I may add ) and it doesn't show up in my start>settings>remove programs either. It's just in a folder on my SD card. Delete the folder and it's gone...

Assuming you're still talking about Pocketnester, it won't show up there (or on your Remove Programs list) because it wasn't technically installed. The .exe was just copied over to your Q and is executed when you want to run the program.
