Hmm Deleting Software...Access Denied!

Hi, I hope you guys can help - I am new to the AXIM, but not PDA's. I downloaded some supposed freeware, and would like to remove it since you must register it for 10 bucks for it to actually work. Problem is, when I try to delete it from program files I get an access denied message that says to "make sure the disk is not full or write -protected and the file is not currently in use" What am I doing wrong? This also happened once with an mp3 file. I have added and removed other software with no problem. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Make sure that any programs associated with it are closed not just minimized like the axims do. If it won't remove after that you can tap and hold on the folder of the program and select rename/move. if you rename it you should be able to delete it.

What software did you download, sometimes that makes a difference as well???

Make sure you remove programs from Setting -> System -> Remove Programs, this should get rid of excess files that are not obvious to find, and any short cuts to the app.
If it is not in the list there, then all you can do it delete it directy.

Whenever you have files that can't be deleted, they are open in some app, or your Axim thinks they are open in some app. The best solution is to just do a soft reset like mentioned above.
