Well, the World Cup is over, and the Spaniards are the champions. Congrats Spain! Since we recommended a plethora of applications to keep you current with your favorite teams and the World Cup, I figured it might be kind of me to help you get rid of the World Cup applications that you will not be needing for another four years. There are three ways that you can remove an application from your device, both of which are pretty simple. The first way is from the applications page or within any of the stock folders or any you may have created. Simply highlight the application you want to delete, press the menu key, and select delete. You will have to confirm the deletion and your phone will become unusable for the following minute or so. It will then ask you if you want to reboot now or later. Keep in mind that rebooting a BlackBerry can take forever depending on what OS you’re running on which device, so if you’re deleting more than one app at a time, I wouldn’t recommend rebooting until you’re done.
The second way to delete an application from your phone is to do it from the options menu. When you open Options, go to Applications. Once the Application page loads all of the Third-party applications installed on your device, simply highlight the application you want to remove, press the menu key, and select delete.
The third way to delete an application from the phone itself is only possible if you downloaded the application via App World. Open up App World, click on the far bottom right button, My World. Once My World loads, highlight the application you want to delete, press the menu key, and select delete.
The second option when it come to deleting applications is plugging your BlackBerry into your computer and using Desktop Manager to do the brute of the work. If you’re only deleting one application, I would say do it from the device, it will take less time. If you’re deleting two, three, or more applications, let Desktop Manager do it. Basically, all you have to do is plug in your BlackBerry to your computer, load Desktop Manager, and click the Application Loader tab. Once this page loads, simply check all of the applications you want to remove and click next. Desktop Manager will delete the applications from your device, the BlackBerry will reboot, and you’re finished. Deleting old applications that you never use is a good idea if your device begins to slow down some. The older BlackBerry models didn’t come with a lot of extra memory and slow down upon installing just a few applications, so spare your free memory and do battery pulls on a regular basis to speed up your BlackBerry.
