Unable to remove program

11-03-05, 06:43 PM

Pocket E-sword was one of the first programs I loaded onto my Ax. I installed it into the Main Memory but have since discovered that this is not the best idea and now put everything onto the storage card.

I tried to move the Program from Main Memory to Storage Card and it seemed OK. With hindsight, maybe I should have uninstalled it and then re-installed it to its new home? When I try to remove the program from my Ax it tells me the file is either in use (it's lying) or it's read only. If I try to delete it from the PC, it tells me there is a file-sharing violation. What do I do? If I try to run the program from the icon on my Ax, the program opens but tells me there are no versions installed (looking on the PC the versions are now on the storage card, not the main memory). I'd like to remove it completely and then re-install it with different versions.

Perform a "soft reset" then manually delete the three fonts it uses located in the "Windows\Fonts\" folder. Afterwards the Remove Programs dialog will work as expected.

I have no idea why the Remove Programs applet has a problem with uninstalling fonts that are not in use.

Also make sure you delete the folder in programs using file explorer.
