View Full Version : Deleting files from ROM? reepDELETE@telusplanet.net 07-18-2003, 07:01 PM I installed and later uninstalled a couple of programs which left files behind. I can't delete them because they are in ROM? Can anyone tell me how to delete these? Thanks Jared Miniman, MS-MVP/Mobile Devices 07-18-2003, 07:01 PM If you're referring to an iPAQ device's iPAQ File Store, I am quite sure that performing a ROM upgrade (installing a ROM Paq) will wipe out those files for you. -- Jared Miniman, Microsoft MVP - Mobile Devices ------- Editor In-Chief pocketnow.com -- it's all about portability... http://www.pocketnow.com ActiveSync problems? http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/support/help/activesync.asp Connection Mngr Q's? http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/tutorials/connectionmanager <reepDELETE@telusplanet.net> wrote in message news:mb664vktgssa9l93jbmbpi20h3skag5j6g@4ax.com... > I installed and later uninstalled a couple of programs which left > files behind.

So you should be able to manually delete them. If not, rename them, then soft reset and then delete. -- __________________________________________________ ________________________________ Ed Hansberry (Please do *NOT* email me.
