How to uninstall an app on a Nokia 230 phone?

Question

Accepted Answer

On your Nokia 230 phone, the uninstallation procedure depends on the type of app. Most third-party apps can be easily removed, but pre-installed apps by the manufacturer are protected.

To uninstall a third-party app:

Go to Menu > Settings > Apps.
Select the app you want to remove from the list.
Press the Options key or select Delete.
Confirm the deletion by selecting Yes.

For pre-installed apps: Built-in apps (Contacts, Calendar, Camera, etc.) normally cannot be uninstalled. However, you can disable them by forcing them to stop: go to Menu > Settings > Apps, select the app, then press Options and choose Force stop.

Advanced tip to free up space: If you really want to remove certain pre-installed apps (like Nimbuz, LinkedIn, Line, WeChat, or Nokia Chat), you can access the hidden system folder. Open the Internet browser, create a new bookmark or edit the address of an existing bookmark by writing: file:///system_files/_system_applications/. You will then be able to access the app files (in .JAR and .JAD format) and delete them directly. Warning: this operation is advanced and the deleted icons may remain ghosted on your home screen.
