I recently attempted to update the Microsoft Messenger application on my phone using AppWorld.

Afterwards, it told me that it failed..
However, the application DID get upgraded.. but now no longer exists, according to the application manager - and memory-related features - saving of password and logging - no longer function.

I was wondering how I could properly remove the app and reinstall it?
-- it also seems to be taking up a significant amount of extra memory since the failed upgrade.

What OS version are you running?

I'm running OS 4.5.0.77

Have you tried removing it through options>advanced>applications, then highlighting, press BB key, and deleting that way?

As I stated above, it does not appear in that list, which is the problem.

Maybe deleting appworld plus battery pull, I wonder if there's a conflict there

Didn't think it would, and it didn't help.

This app does not exist as far as my BB knows, even though I can still run it.

That's nice and bizarre; have you thought about wiping your BB and installing fresh?

Try upgrading to 4.5.127 Bell official OS and your bbm icon might come back.

[Peacimowen]

genomos: Yes, was just hoping there might be another way.

thymaster: that advice being rather useless, I will ignore it for the following reaons.:
Solo, while connected to Bell, does not run the same OS version.
It's not BBM, but MSN messenger that's broken.
It's not the icon that's missing, it's the entry in the applications list.

[Thud Hardsmack]

Oh hey, just occurred to me that the problem might simply be a name change - MSN messenger is now Windows Live; if that's in your app list then it explains why you have the icon, and that it works, and where your memory usage went. Getting all technical before I even checked to see if things were plugged in, so to speak :P

No. I know it's windows Live! It's just me using the old name for it. XD

Haha, me too, otherwise I would have caught that earlier lol
I'm out of ideas aside from wiping and reinstalling the OS again. If you do go that route, I recommend following BigBadWulf's guide
