You will find that uninstalled programs leave a lot more than shortcuts behind. Sometimes they leave folders with files containing user data behind (a good thing if you didn't want that data deleted), others may leave hidden WinCE databases, and almost all apps leave registry entries behind. The registry entries can be a good thing if you are planning on re-installing an update to the software as your registration codes amongst other things are stored there. Thus, you won't have to re-register the app. However if you have no plans on installing the software again, those registry entries can build up over time (especially if you are in the habit of beta testing/trying multiple apps every week). Add that to the recent "duplicate database entry after soft resets" bug recently discovered and your system can eventually slow to a crawl. I would recommend installing an app like Remover, Space Reclaimer, or Spacemaker on your PDA.
