Adding, Removing, and Updating with the Application Loader

The distinct feature we will be using is the Application Loader. Once the feature has been selected you are provided with another menu giving you two more options.

Add/Remove Applications

or

Update Applications

Choose the Add/Remove option by hitting the START button directly below it.

A loading bar will show up and the program will attempt to collect all the installed applications on the device; once finished you will be provided with a list of everything installed on your Blackberry.

To remove an application simply uncheck the box next to the name of the program or application in the list and then click continue. The Blackberry Desktop manager will then uninstall the application and soft reset your device to finish the process.

Uninstalling Directly From The Device

This method is also simple once the process is memorized; it involves removing applications from the Blackberry by using the phone directly. The first step is obviously making sure the phone is powered on, do so now.

Once the main screen is loaded, navigation through the menus to the remove applications feature is as follows.

Menu (Blackberry Menu Button) > Options (The Wrench Icon) > Advanced Options > Applications

A progress bar will appear as the phone loads the list of installed programs. Once it is done loading the list will appear on the screen. To remove an application simply scroll down to the application in the list, after making sure the desired app is highlighted hit the Blackberry menu button. Another list in the bottom left will provide you with more options regarding the management of applications; simply scroll down to the delete option and select it. Select yes when prompted if you are sure you want to remove the app, and the application will then be uninstalled.

Keep in mind however that there are some core applications the Blackberry device will not remove at all; therefore the delete option will not even show up in the app management menu. If you're looking for more apps to install, check out some of the top blackberry applications.

RE: How To Uninstall Blackberry Applications
Tried this method & tried using destop manager but the application that I want to remove is not listed anywhere on either, but it is still on my phone in the 'Downloads' folder, the file is called Nobex Radio Companion (Archived)
there is no visible way to delete/remove the file
the app doesn't even work when you try to click on it.
how do I get this thing removed?
