Removing Programs From the AT&T Tilt Cellphone


Recently, we installed the Opera Mobile browser, thinking it would allow us to see Macromedia Flash on the AT&T Tilt Cellphone. Since the current version does not let us view Flash, and is very similar to the Mobile Internet Explorer Browser on the phone, we are going to un-install (or remove) the program.
In order to remove a program that is installed on your phone, first connect the phone to your computer. Upon plugging the phone in, the Microsoft ActiveSynch window should appear. Choose "Tools" the "Add/Remove Programs" as shown in the screenshot below.

Now you will be shown a list of programs installed on the Tilt. Uncheck the box next to any program you want to remove. Since we are removing Opera, you will notice the Opera checkbox is unchecked in the screenshot below. Uncheck the program you wish to remove and then click "OK".



You will then see a message (shown below) that it is removing the program, and then the window will close by itself.


You will not get any more confirmation that the removal is complete, even though it has been removed.
