How often do you guys do a hard reset of your Clie, just to get rid of any junk that some unwated programs can leave behind?

Personally, I usually do it about twice a year around the time you change your clocks.

I'm a bit of a psycho when it comes to this. Whenever I install new software that I want to test, but then don't like it, I delete it. But then in the back of my head I'm always thinking, it's left stuff out there. So before I know it, Hard Reset!
You think I would learns and stop trying software, because the darn thing is already running perfectly, but curiosity...:rolleyes:

On the topic of cleaning...

Is it possible to delete some of the built-in Clie apps like Netfront or Clie Album?

I have no need for an internet connection on my Clie, and Netfront alone takes up 2 Megs.

I bought it at christmas & I had only once to hard-reset it - which otherwise I avoid at all costs.
Bought Uninstall mgr which does a GREAT job.

Yes, you all need to look at Uninstall Manager (www.northglide.com)! This program will 'track' your installs and the leftovers from programs you install and when you delete a program, you'll be able to delete ALL the 'leftover' stuff it leaves on your system. No more hard resets for me!
But if you want to know, I used to hard reset each year just to clean everything out, until I found UM.
