Cannot remove file
Please elaborate. Why can't you remove the software? Is it not shown
in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet? Did you look in the Nokia folder to see if there is an "Uninstall" file of sorts? What happens when you try to delete the files? What kind of error message are you receiving? If you already properly uninstalled the software and if you are having problems deleting remnants of the program start by rebooting the computer and see if things change. Invariably not being able to delete files almost always boils down to one of two things: 1- There is an open handle on the file, rebooting or killing the process that has an open handle on the file usually cures this. Sometimes a reboot to Safe Mode allows for the removal of the files. 2- You don't have the necessary permissions to delete the file. Look in the Security Permission and verify that you have full control over the objects that you want to delete. John Simon wrote: Hi, I have some Nokia phone software on my pc which I cannot remove.
