Fix My Berry

There are 2 options for uninstalling applications on a BlackBerry; though the device using the menu options or using Blackberry Desktop manager on a PC.

•  Uninstalling using the BlackBerry device:
  • Using the device: go to Options/Advanced Options/Applications. The list of applications that are on the device will appear on the screen.
  • Select the application from the list that you want to delete and press the Menu button.
  • Select Delete from the list. Device will display a pop-up message confirming the Delete request. Choose either Delete or Cancel.
  • Device will display another pop-up message confirming that the application will be deleted when the BlackBerry is restarted. The user will have an option to restart the device now or at a later time. Choose either Yes to restart or No to restart at a later time.
    • FYI: It is recommended to restart the device at this point in time to confirm removal of the application and to ensure the device is running properly.

• Uninstalling using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager (see above 4.2, other versions should be similar):
  • Plug BlackBerry device into a PC using USB cable.
  • Open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager program. The program will connect to the BlackBerry device and display the PIN number of the device.
  • Click on the icon for the Application Loader.
  • Click the Next button.
  • The Application Loader Wizard pop-up will appear and a list will populate in the window. De-select the applications that you would like to remove and then click on Next.
  • This screen will confirm the applications being removed. Click on Finish to continue with application(s) removal.
  • Updating Device screen will appear and then will confirm if the loading operation was successful.
    • FYI: On the BlackBerry device and hourglass will appear on the screen dutring the update process. Do not unplug USB cable  until update is complete and the screen goes back to main menu.
