need help can't remove installed files

I recently installed meltdown and pvvideo on my 7650 just to try them out, when I tried to remove them it wasn't in the memory manager and I can't delete them on the menu

please help , it take a lot of memory......
thanks in advance

I take it these were .sis files? The uninstall information for these apps is stored in C:\System\Install, this must have gone missing, the easiest way to remove these apps is to reinstall the apps, which should furnish the phone with the correct uninstall information, then uninstall it as usual though app manager, this would be the preferred method.

Otherwise, you will need a file explorer ( Seleq1.5, FExplorer etc ) and navigate to C:\System\Apps\appname and delete that folder, be careful about what you delete though.

Hope this helps
