How to uninstall previous versions of SlingPlayer Mobile for Pocket PC

Regardless of whether you chose the Automatic Installer or the Direct Download installation method:

Disconnect your mobile device from the PC. Start SlingPlayer Mobile. On the bottom taskbar, click Player > Exit to completely exit the application.

Note: hitting “X” on the top right will not exit the application. Uninstall may fail if the application is not properly closed.

If you previously performed a PC-based installation (Automatic Installer):

Connect your device to the PC. Make sure ActiveSync connection is established. On your PC, go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Select SlingPlayer Mobile (not “SlingPlayer”), and follow instructions to remove.

You will be prompted to choose the file you want to “remove” or “install” in a dialog box. Please make sure you uncheck the box next to SlingPlayer Mobile, and then highlight the application (e.g. in blue as shown below). Click “Remove” at lower right hand corner of that dialog box. Then hit “OK”. See illustration below:

On your PC, go to Program Files > Sling Media. The “SlingPlayer Mobile” directory or folder should now be removed. “SlingPlayer” folder should still remain.
On your mobile device, go to Start > Settings > Systems > Remove Programs. SlingPlayer Mobile should now be removed. If not:
On the device, go to Start > Settings > Memory > Running Programs tab. Click “Stop All” to stop all running programs.
Go back to Start > Settings > Systems > Remove Programs. Follow instructions to remove SlingPlayer Mobile.
(On your mobile device) Go to Start > Programs > File Explorer > Program Files. SlingPlayer Mobile directory or folder should also be removed. If not, manually delete that directory or folder.

If you previously performed a Direct Device Download and installation using a CAB file:

On your mobile device, go to Start > Settings > Memory > Running Programs tab. Click “Stop All” to stop all running programs.
On your mobile device, go to Start > Settings > Systems > Remove Programs. Remove SlingPlayer Mobile.
To double check after you finish:

On your mobile device, go to Start > Programs > File Explorer > Program Files. SlingPlayer Mobile directory or folder should now be removed.
If not, manually delete that directory or folder.

Note: A hard reset will also remove applications from the device, although this should not be necessary in most circumstances.
