Hi everyone.

I installed some game in my nokia 6600 and now i am bored with it and i want to remove it, but when i try to delete it, it says about english "program is running and can't be deleted" i have rebootet my phone, taken battery away and still.. always it says program is running. so how can i remove it? do i need to make soft format for that?

forgot to tell you this too: when i am running the game and press quit it says in english about "program error" or something like that..

sorry about my bad englis 😊

Install a third party Task Manager, find the running thread of the game, close it and then try to uninstall the game from Manager. That should do it...... I think 😊

i dont know where could i get one

Hi. Thanks for the tips, but it still is not working. I installed the taskspy and i killed every possiple proses in my phone, but still when i try ty uninstall that game it says that game is running and thou cannot be removed... this suck

Hi.

Yes i know. But that's the problem. I did install it on the phone's memory. It seem to be that i need to make a soft format on my phone, if i want to get rid of that game.

This suck too, becouse i loose all my other data too instead only that phuking game.

Hi!

I am not tried that, because i just dont know how to do it.

Use fexplorer,which is a free app (attached below) and go to c:\system\apps or install (or anywhere) and delete anything you can find relating to this game.
Search the whole of C: which is the phone memory,(as thats where you said you installed it) E: is mmc for future reference.

If the game is still running (which is the reason it wont un-install) you may get an error when you delete part of it,which will then close it. Restart the phone (tools option in fexplorer,quicker than turning phone off/on and no need to re enter password) and then un install using the phones Manager app.

Good luck 😊
