    I removed some applications and when it prompted me to restart I didn't. However after all the applications where removed I did a battery pull when my Blackberry was on. Did this do the exact same thing as when it prompts me?

    Yes, it's best to do it after deletions, and yes, it's the same if you do it later yourself.

    Why does it matter when you do the restart though? I did it right after I deleted both applications because I did not feel like waiting for two restarts instead of 1. What is the difference?

    The truth is that certain apps don't require restarts but I've never found where it wasn't actually the better idea to do the restart. I have no idea how those apps made it through testing and validation without having issues after uninstall.

    Anyhow... just reboot it.

    You absolutely can delete several apps in a row, then do the restart, no problem. If it doesn't prompt me, I usually don't bother.

    Is a battery pull the same as clicking the restart button when the prompt appears after you uninstall an application? Does it make a difference?

    Really doesn't make a difference, but selecting the Reset Now button is a lot easier than a battery pull.

    So it does the same thing? Just ones easier then the other?

    Yep. same thing.

    Do you have a Blackberry now? your info by your username says
    "Not a BlackBerry/Smartphone User" Just makes answering questions easier if we know which one you have.

    I have the Pearl. Do you think taking away BB Maps + Messenger will free up a lot of space? If I don't use them at all, is it worth it?

    I removed BB maps, but I use Messenger. Yes, if you don't think you'll use them, delete them both.

    Do you have a Pearl. If so how much free space do you have? How do I know how much MB I have. It only shows my space in bytes.

    How come I have such low memory when I have hardly anything on it?

    Not sure, I don't know what your file free is, or what you have on it, or what model number, carrier... some Pearls are known to have memory issues. The link above about freeing up memory is awesome, and will really help you out.

    I ran the setup wizard on my Blackberry. It deleted the languages that I did not want. Someone else on the forums said he did that then deleted the languages again permanently or something... What's up with that?

    He probably deleted them using his PC and going into the OS software. Then they're gone for good.

    Is there any easy way to delete a theme? How much memory does a theme take up on average?

    You can only easily delete a theme that you added to your BB. The preloaded ones require an OS reload, as explained in the "increase memory" link I gave you. But some of the prelaoded ones need to stay.

    To delete one that you added, go to Options> Advanced Options> Applications> scroll to the theme (or app) > hit Menu> delete.
