Quick Tip: Uninstalling Apps

Here’s a Quick Tip for your Windows Phone:
Unlike other phones, Windows Phone currently has an ability that really should be present on all phones: the ability to remove apps, specifically the ones you don't want. For example, if you have an AT&T device you will likely have a bunch of AT&T-branded apps you don't want (and you may have received some more today too). Luckily if for some reason you don't want apps like AT&T Radio or AT&T Address Book on your phone, here's the simple solution:

1. Navigate to your Start page. You can quickly get there by pressing the  key.
2. Now swipe your finger to the right or press the arrow button to get to the App List.
3. Now in the app list, scroll down to the icon/name of the app you want to uninstall.
4. Tap and hold on the item for a few seconds.
5. Let go once you see a white option list appear underneath the app. Then tap uninstall.

With Windows Phone 7 it really is that simple and now that app will never pester you again.
