Deleting games from rom ?

2 replies · 1,814 views · Started 13 June 2006

Hi, i want to ask if it is possible to delete the games originally stored in my Nokia 3230 (Agent V, Rally Pro, ST Warrior, Fifa 2005) - as far as i see from my file manager they are located in the rom memory, and i can not remove them using app manager since they are not listed there. Thank you

You can't (deleting things requires write access, which isn't there with ROM, ROM = Read-Only Memory).

A firmware update from Nokia without the games would be the only way.

Freeing up ROM space wouldn't of course provide any benefit for you as a device owner, because you wouldn't be able to use it for anything else.

You can always just move the apps to the bottom/end of some submenu.

It's funny, I know quite a few people who are almost superstitious about games on phones.

They'll ask how they can remove the games, and I tell them exactly what N/A just said, and they still insist that they should be able to remove the games because "it would make the phone work better". These aren't even smartphones we're talking about, they're just normal bog-standard phones.

It's like some people feel innately uneasy about extras that they don't want.
