      Maybe I am just dense when it comes to Palms, but I am not finding the answer I need anywhere. I have a couple programs that I installed on my Palm that I would like to remove. I can’t find anywhere to do this in the Palm. I have even tried a hard reset. When I sync again, it reloads the program that I want deleted. I know I must be missing something obvious, but can anyone help with this?

        I think this is pretty universal (applies to all Palm models I’ve used)… go to the Application Launcher (usually you tap or press the “home” button to get there), where you see all the icons for you applications, then go to the menu. Depending on your Palm model, to get the menu to appear you need to tap the virtual menu button, click a menu button, or tap in the upper left corner of the screen.

        Go to Apps in the menu, then Delete. You’ll get a listing of everything installed, including how much memory apps are using,

          Jeremy said it all. Took me a while to figure it out the first time I wanted to delete some things as well.

              FYI – I believe the reason that when you resync’d after a hard reset and the program/s came back is because in the default “custom” hotsync settings it sync’s the System conduit. The System conduit includes the backup folder in your Palm directory under your user name. So as long as the program is in the backup folder and you resync it will come back. After you delete the programs from the Palm and then sync only the files on the Palm are sync’d and the programs you deleted will no longer be in the backup folder.

              Alternately you could go into the Backup folder and delete the .prc or .pdb files that you didn’t want and after a hard reset and resync the files wouldn’t show up on the Palm or in the Backup folder (obviously cause you already deleted them from here).
