Help YouTube app, can I delete?

[jmhemiram]

Hello. The factory installed YouTube app keeps freezing & locking my incredible up. Is there anyway to delete this factory installed app? It won't let me install it since it was a out of the box app.
Thanks.
Joe.

If you want to get rid of the factory installed apps you'll need to root your phone first. If you're not comfortable with doing that then I suggest you take it back to the store for them to have a look at it.

I have no idea what rooting your phone is/does.

Rooting basically unlocks the phone phone and gives you access the the entire file system of the phone. Check this out for a few links: http://androidforums.com/incredible...pdated-4-15-est-oct-1-2010-a.html#post1486298

Thanks but no thanks. Had to go to menu, settings, applications, manage, then clear data. That took care of the issue. Thanks anyways.

Make sure the app is updated through the market as well.
