I installed 'Tube 2' and the 'SkyForce demo' a few weeks ago on my P990, and then uninstalled them once I was finished with them. However these two programs periodically decided to ask me to install themselves again, usually after a reboot. I have tried deleting the installer files through Swiss Manager but they wont delete. Can anyone recommend how to remove these installer files?

Thanks.

As I read from previous posts, ppl formated the MS card. Hmmm. Not that fancy.
One solution is to find the culprit, by browsing the mass storage, and if lucky and find it, remove the files. Any other solutions?

I had the same problem with swiss manager. On the memory card i got rid of the resource folder and another folder and that solved the problem. If not, put everything on pc, reformatt then move back

but if you move the stuff back from PC, wouldn't you have the same set of files? Hence, the same unwanted installers will pop-up again?!

As i said before, the files that some applications leave behind seem to be in the resource and system folder. e.g. clockss leaves some stuff in the resource folder as does lemmings. these two folders are not there when you reformatt your card if you installed the applications onto the M2. (i'm guessing the same is for the phones memory).

I reformatted the M2 and only put the picture, music, other, doucment and video folders back on. and the problem was solved the installers didn't pop back up again.
