Deleting from Handheld

I had a game on my 7520 that the trial period expired. Instead of hooking it up to the application loader I deleted it by going to Options then Applications and then deleting it.

Is that as clean of an uninstall as using the application loader? I know that with my Palm there have been issues of some apps leaving remnants of their program in the Palm after deletion and later on having to "clean it up."

Is this such an issue with a blackberry?

Next time you use app loader, it will try to install the removed app. When you go into app loader, make sure to uncheck that app before you do anything else, so that it app loader won't do anything with that app. You could also remove the software from the computer (or at least move the file so that app loader can't access it).

I am pretty sure the best thing to do to clear up a little more memory on a bb is just to turn it off once in a while, but not positive on this.

I tried to reply last night and HoFo crashed...

I deleted from the handheld and then out of curiousity I hooked it up to the app loader. The game that I deleted was BlackJack. The app loader recognized that it was no longer active. It was listed but there was no checkmark. When I finished it said done or whatever and made no attempt to reinstall it.
However the Bass Assasin that I downloaded OTA was not listed there (because app loader had not originally installed it?).

Anyway it all worked I was just wondering if over time that the BB would need to be "cleaned" up from a bunch of these little apps that were deleted with or without the app loader.
