you could try using adb shell on a computer
type lines in oder
adb shell
cd data/app
ls
(this will show you a list of apps in data/apps)
rm name.of.apkfile.apk
cant remember if you need root for it but you will deffo need android sdk installed and the drivers for adb for htc
have you checked in applications that its moved to phone and not on sdcard? vice verse, then uninstalled it after moving it (if there is an option)

adb shell is a command line utility bundled with with android sdk
you enable support for this by turning on debug mode in "settings>applications>development"

SysAdmins. Don't you just love 'em. No inability to communicate in English (you are a SysAdmin aren't you RM 
)
Shall I translate (geek to English is a speciality of mine
)
Rastaman is suggesting you install a piece of specialist software called the Software Development Kit and run some operating system commands to manually delete the installation file for the app
As a non-technical user you probably don't want to go there.
There are a number of apps in the market that claim to delete problematic applications. Search for uninstall in the market and try whatever takes your fancy.

this is true however my experience of developers is that they do not respond or will ask you to do just what i did
applications that remove software just link to the android uninstaller
other than tat he can wipe the device
yes i am a sys admin/server admin type. however i try and help in the simplest manner
The reason i went straight for SDK is because there are not many options
