Removing a stubborn application from memory card - N95 8GB

2 replies · 8,106 views · Started 03 September 2008

Since updating the firmware on my N95 8GB to v20, I have an application remaining that I cannot remove. The app is locked up and uninstallation fails.

It says it's stored on my memory card, but I cannot find it anywhere. The game is called "sonic" something. If I do a search in Y-browser with all permissions, I can't find any files.

Is there a directory somewhere on the memory card where I can delete this app from? I'd rather not format the memory card, but if I have to, what's the best way to do it? Or can I format the apps from the card, but not the pics, songs, etc?

Thanks.

Connet the phone to a PC in USB mass storage (data transfer) mode, and on the PC find the culprit under \private in the mass memory of the phone (remember to enable viewing of hidden and system fiiles in Windows Explorer).
