cannot delete apps on wp8.0

[derek]

I cannot delete apps. There is no delete option when i hold the app in the app list, only a "pin to start" pop up option. I have an htc for wp version 3.9.
please help cos i cannot free space to upgrade.

HTC app for htc devices cannot be deleted because it is a system app

Not sure if this works, but you can change the system date/time to future(say year 2050/3000) and those system apps should throw error message and eventually provide you an option to uninstall. Not too sure, but you can try that.

Thanks..but i am not trying to remove htc app...i cant delete any app at all!!!!!!!

Don't mind, but next time go for Nokia while preferring Windows Phone.
Change the date and time if possible, and try...

Well, now in more confused.....the "uninstall" pop up has mow magically reappeared after 2 weeks of absence. Now i have to figure out how to unistall all those maps...any ideas?

 

[Derek Parry]

Magic...the uninstall pop up is back

Try a soft reset as this should delete some temp files and allow you to uninstall some apps.

Well thanks for the help. Obviously, if you want to remove maps you have to act as though you want to install some more till you see what you already have installed...then you can delete them...!! Not obvious.
Cheers
