Awile back I installed Gameloft's Ferrari GT Evolution demo, and didnt really like it. I forgot all about it. So today I way browsing through my phone and came across it again. I decided to uninstall it, but its not showing under "remove programs". I tried using the TMS Uninstaller, but it wouldnt show in there either. Is there any way I can get rid of it, without flashing the rom. I dont want to stray away from the stock rom, just not my thing, yet.

thanks in advance

I was under the impression it came on the Expo to begin with?

If so, even if you installed a copy, it won't show up in "Remove Program".

WR is right - it's in the Expo's stock ROM, along with Block Breaker 2 and Monopoly (thank you AT&T for the forced bloatware). Flashing is the only way to completely scrub it off.

If you're only concerned about the memory footprint, you can replace the application file in the Windows folder with a blank text document with the same name, a la Ferrari.exe. I replaced all the crapware in this manner before we were able to flash custom ROMs.

You  might be right, I think it came preinstalled. As far as the last poster's post goes, wouldnt deleting the whole folder free up the memory?

thank you for  your suggestions
