Running out of room on your precious device? Do you have too many things installed? Remove those extra applications and make your some more room.


This will remove applications from your device. If these applications are essential or system related, you could break your device. It is always safer to just hide the icon and leave it on your device. Hiding the icon still means, however, that the applications is taking up room.

To reclaim the room, remove that app!

1. Go to the main screen
2. Select Options
3. Select Applications
4. Select the app you want to remove
5. Select Delete from the menu
6. Confirm deletion.

    This is partially correct for the Blackberry Pearl 8130. If you have the Pearl, try this:

    1. Go to the main screen
    2. Select Options>ADVANCED OPTIONS
    3. Select Applications
    4. Select the app you want to remove
    5. Select Delete from the menu
    6. Confirm deletion.

    The directions posted previously omit part of step 2.

    I am so confused. when I select he application there is no option to delete. What am I missing?

    nevermind to clarify for others as stupid as me, you have to select te application the hit the menu button thats the button just to the left of the ball that has 7 little dots on it.
  • How's this any different than just selecting the application from the home menu, clicking the blackberry button, selecting delete?
