The installs directory is only a record of Application Manager. To delete it now, you will have to reinstall game and the remove via App Man. Dont use fexplorer to delete apps. Use App Manager

You didn't delete the game, you deleted the record of how it was installed and where, so that the phone knows how to uninstall it.
Do as mentioned above to uninstall it, and be more careful with any file managers in future, if you don't understand the operating system leave it alone or else you might not be able to use your phone in future.

Well,the problem has already been solved thanks to doc.You r probably right about my level of symbian expertise.Sorry to bother the forum with my stupid problem.And many thanks to Doc.

I've installed RallyX 300kb, and it is not listed in app manager or any record in apps(java). Tryed to reinstall, or download and not install, then when i go to apps (java) --> downloded it says: jar corrupted delete it? But when u install it program is saved not in apps (java) but as and with normal programs *.sis file.

Sorted out myself: ranamed file to rally.sis and it apeared in apps manager 😊 no more games...
