The latest version of BlackBerry App World (4.0.0.55) brings along a feature that many users have been waiting quite a while for. In addition to a handful of updates, you now have the ability to remove applications from your My World list in BlackBerry App World. This is great news since, if you're like me, you have probably loaded up the list with plenty of apps you no longer have a use for. Instead of having them linger around, clogging up your lists, you can now easily remove them and never have to think about them again. Keep reading to see how to delete apps from BlackBerry App World in just a few clicks.

How to delete applications from BlackBerry App World
Thank god they added this feature. Hope they add it to BB10's AppWorld too
I needed this article today. There's an adult app I need to get rid of before my girlfriend catches it! http://www.geekchoice.com
I hope this works for Telelnav. No matter how many times I deleted it, when I try to repurchase, App World keeps re-installing the same expired app.
I think you can thank your carrier for this. Just hide the app icon and it will soon be forgotten.
lol, why is my App being deleted :p
good info.
Now that was bloody handy! I just used it...
Halleluja!
I have noticed a weird issue with App World 4. On my last OS installation, I went through My World, installed the apps I wanted, and then deleted everything else from My World, so there was only the items I wanted. Then I updated my OS last night, and when I go into My World to reinstall all my apps, only some of the apps are in My World list. I'm glad I made a list separately. Has anybody else noticed this?
Thank Christ, Lord Baby Jesus, and adult Jesus too! Praise him.... Praise him!!!
Lol :)
Excellent addition. I have been wanting to get rid of the junk forever.
Question: In case I ever do want to reinstall, would I have to purchase the again?
Also ... since the update, when I go to AppWorld I have a splat on the "My World" icon but when I go in there it says I have no updates. Anyone else? Very annoying. The splat does not show on the AppWorld icon on the home screen.
About time!! This is great, I managed to delete 76 apps!!!
And much welcomed enhancement. Any idea when Appworld for PB is going to be updated?
Just for clarification...I believe this jut removes them from the list---not the actual file from the device.
I tried to use this tool to get rid of a corrupt app file (application resource manager) so I could re-download it (ass opposed to re-install) from app world. No Love.
Any on ideas on how to accomplish that welcomed!
Remove the app via apploader or desktop manager.
Mostly needed for blackberry playbook an will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
bless beamer.

Hi all. So I got the new Aap world on my curve really nice. Love the fact that you can delete you uninstalled items now. But one question though. The app word memory bar.. When you delete the uninstalled items does the memory goes down as well ? Cause mine stay the sam. Still shows 85MB of 256MB available. Did delete the stuff and re boot my curve removing the battery but still stays the same ... Any suggestions ?
