Hmm, make sure you're not synced, try soft resetting, then repeat? (Soft reset by pushing the stylus on the side button under record. DO NOT push the power button at the same time)

Try doing a SOFT reset on the device. If that doesn't work, also reset the computer. I recommend disconnecting the PDA while the computer is rebooting. I've noticed that some problems come up for me if mine's in the cradle at PC boot-time.

EDIT: Ah - simultaneous postings...

No sweat, just open file explorer, goto windows, start menu, programs, games and delete the file.
