Ive got some applications that i wish to delete as since upgrading my firmware a while ago they dont seem to work. When i try to delete them via the cancel button under the applications menu it says 'removing failed' and when i try to delete them via pc suite they dont even show up in the folders its like they dont exist?:con?

Have you tried removing them via Menu>Applications>App.Mgr.
Scroll down to the application you wish to remove then press options>remove This should work

Had same trouble with mine so just reinstalled and then uninstalled. They're all gone now. 😊

The main reason for this kind of problem is the use of backup/restore.
Did you use it?
Then don't and reinstall to get a vanilla phone and reinstall apps from there.
You have file associations left from a previous install that get put back when you restore.

If I ever have prob like that like dazman said I find reinstalling then uninstalling works
