As a result, it&#8217;s a good idea to regualrly remove the utilities or games that you no longer use. It&#8217;s pretty easy to do this through the &#8216;System&#8217; menu in Windows Mobile. Click on &#8216;Start&#8217; and select &#8216;Settings&#8217;. Now click on the &#8216;System&#8217; tab and go down to &#8216;Remove Programs&#8217;. Highlight the program you wish to get rid of and click &#8216;Remove&#8217;. If you need to restart your phone or PDA you will be notified.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well that&#8217;s that taken care of then? Well, maybe not actually. Some apps have preference files that stay on your system, or they don&#8217;t show up at all in the Remove Applications menu. As a result, it&#8217;s a good idea to run a special third-party installation tool to clean up the bits that get left behind. You could try <a href=\"http:\/\/remover.en.softonic.com\/pocketpc\">Remover<\/a>, which is specifically-designed for uninstalling Windows Mobile apps. However, I personally prefer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dinarsoft.com\/memmaid\">MemMaid<\/a>, as it&#8217;s good for cleaning bad uninstall data, and also helps you manage many other areas of your system memory.<\/p>\n<p>To completely weed out the rest of your application data get hold of <a href=\"http:\/\/pdagear.net\/blog\">Today Plugin Uninstaller<\/a>. The handy tool will remove any Today screen plugins you&#8217;ve installed and wipe away any traces they often leave behind during a standard uninstall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s loads of great software available for Windows Mobile, but install too much and your Pocket PC or Smartphone will start to lag.
