Running Windows on your computer makes you very suspicious if an uninstall is a complete uninstall. I've looked about this forum and learned that this might also happen on my p900. So the obvious question is: where can I find those files, are they easily recognisable? For example: If I had Tracker installed, does the file has tracker in its name or something so I don't need to be afraid about deleting it. Or do i have to look for sertain files that can be deleted?

Is there any list of programs that leave junk behind? That would probably help

Thanks.

well yeah there are some junk files that are left behind but i for one don't delete because they are just too small to be bothered with
anyway i think some files are easy to recognize and i don't think it would do any harm to your mobile but i don't really know because i don't actually delete anything

Where are they? Can I locate them with Sman?

Yes you can use sman t locate the files.

I install all my apps on the d drive.So when you uninstall an app go with sman to the d drive and than go to system/apps there you can safely delete the map of the program you've just uninstalled.

You can also do this on your c drive but here you should be more careful because its the system drive.

You can also locate the files with an program called filesearch.

take care
