How do i remove all contents form my BA ?

[marius.onofrei]

Background:
Installed WM5 with office, then installed office6 (my guess is that it is for WM6) and it worked, but after uninstalling it some files were left on the device (i'm a beginner so i do not know where to look - but i could see the application shortcut in programs).

I've reflashed my device with WM5 but surprise ... surprise, all my applications from the old install where there (office6 included); my guess is that all the registry is still in place.

Problem:
I need to remove office6 as it consumes storage; there'
s no entry in add/remove programs - because the application has been partially removed from wizard. I would even reflash BA again - but the must be some option or something to delete all contents.

Waiting for a suggestion !

you did not perform WM5 hard reset after reflashing read wiki for more information

Hard Reset

Hold down the Power button (Top Right corner) and at the same time put your Stylus pen in the hole where it says “Reset” (Lower Left corner).
Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device, Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this.
After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device.

Things that are not deleted

* Data on \Storage Card
* Data in \Storage folder

No thats wrong! This will never work for WM5:(

But you were close -> there is "BlueAngel Windows Mobile 5.0 Home Page" in wiki...

On WM5 BA, soft reset, and when you see the 4 stripped colors, press now "record + camera"
You shall be able to see a menu with 3 selections.
The first one set to "no" and the last 2 to "yes"
once you did it, press the "mail" button to format the device.
