Manually Delete APK Files

Postby Charlie » January 21st, 2011, 2:23 pm

Hi,

I need to manually delete an app and all the related files. (it is not a system app, and also not from marketplace)

Is there any other place i need to look, apart from the following?

/data/data
/data/dalvik-cache
/data/app

NEW - when i come to re-install the app - get this message - "the application you are installing will replace another application - All previous user data will be saved"

So there must be some files still to delete - but where could they be?
