Hy evrybody.
I just installed an app but i removed it becouse its boring. Now if i look in my games i dont find the app (this is normal). But if i look in mange apps i see the app and it tooks 4mb. If i try to remove it it says "unable to remove" or "not removed" i dont remeber wich. I wanna removr this app becouse i have the samsung al galaxy gio. I dont have much space.
I realy need help .

What u mean whit rebooting i speak english but not that good ^^. And can u explain howto reboot?

Rebooting means to restart your phone. Switch off and then start again. And also look for the some folder by the name of that game and delete. Sometimes applications make folders and then leave that folder after uninstallation.
If you are rooted, try to wipe dalvik cache.
 
Having the same problem with a GTA 5 live wallpaper it show up on my wallpapers and on menu but not in installed or ALL apps I NEED TO GET RID OF IT IT IS TAKING UP SO MUCH SPACE
 
You have to use a file explorer "ES File Explorer" is good, find these residual files and delete them (you dont have to actually, unless youre short of storage)
Wish i could explain how easier but its one of those things you gota be there kinda thing
 
Try easy stuff 1st.Shut-down the phone and remove the battery for around 30 seconds and put it back in and then re-boot?


Some apps have to be stopped before they can be properly un-installed so you may have to re-install the app and check it's help file.

I use the free,"Clean Master" app,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en_GB

very useful for getting rid of old junk and as above ESfile manager/explorer is excellent,again from Google Play store and I wouldn't be without it.I still keep the main file manager installed just in case but just don't use it.


HTH :)
