Need help using Root Explorer

Hi

I am trying to remove the "optus" applications (australian provider) in my phone and read that this Root explorer is the best one to use - so I paid and installed the application - however all the info i can find says go to -
Systems _ App then select the unwanted applications and delete or uninstall !
However none of the Applications I do not want are in that file , they are all in
System_ Carrier _ persist-app and if I try the same way of deleting/uninstalling it does not let me
if i click on the unwanted Application it give me a Choice or install, Cancel or View (install just installs not Uninstalls)
How can I get rid of these unwanted applications - they are Optus Directory Assist, Optus Music store, Optus Applications Store, Optus MY Account, Twitter and Ciao all stuff i will never use or want .
Thanks Mark
 
Hello globalmark.

I see by your other posts in the Garminphone section that you are probably referring to that device.

I'm nearly certain that the Garminphone has not yet been rooted, meaning it is not yet possible to access certain files in that device via Root Explorer.

The method for removing unwanted files using Root Explorer on a rooted device is to long press that file name and a menu of choices will pop up, "delete" being one of the choice. Once selected, a confirmation dialog will appear, select yes.
