Is there a way to delete data files after an app is uninstalled? Here are the specific details. I installed the trial version of Sygic, an GPS Navigation App and downloaded a few state maps. I decided that the app wasn't that good and unstalled it. A few days later, I was wondering if I had given it a fair evaluation and reinstalled it. Low and behold, the map files were still there! I still don't like the app and want to get rid of the data files. In Windows Mobile, there was an app names SKtools that would find orphaned files and allow them to be deleted. Is there an Android equivalent?

You did not mention the app name, but usually you can just go to your sd card, look for the .data folder, and then delete the folder with the name of the app.

Folders with a dot (.) in front of their name are hidden. If you use EStrongs File Manager you have in its settings to check the option "Show Hidden Files"
