How can I totally remove an APP so it doesn't show in the menu anymore?
And are there any plans to add a feature in the PortableApps Options menu that allows to remove apps?
Thank you

Just delete the folder for the app in the X:\PortableApps folder.
So if you wanted to get rid of Firefox then you would delete the X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable folder (with X the letter of your usb drive)

To remove an app you need to go to the PortableApps folder in your drive and delete the folder.
if you want to remove Firefox etc. you will see a folder in PortableApps
called FirefoxPortable etc.
wow, how easy is that?
thanks
to click the X on the menu and close the menu first. Once you've deleted the app, you can go back and reopen the menu and continue using it.
I do want to make an application that uninstalls but I haven't started it as I'm a type of person that doesn't finish his big ideas. But then again I could get started now...

but the other problem is that I'm lacking a compiler as well as 300 MB...

lol, yep thats for sure
Add this to your USB stick. Whenever you want to delete an app, shutdown the PAM and dbl click on this script.
DelPAapp.cmd
@echo off&Mode CON Lines=6 COLS=72&Color 1F
@Title PortableApps App Delete - make sure PAM has been shutdown.
:PANAME
set PortableApp=
set /p PortableApp= Enter the name of the PortableApp to delete or Q to Exit:
if /I %PortableApp%! EQU Q! exit
if /I %PortableApp%! EQU ! exit
if not exist \PortableApps\%PortableApp%\ (
echo.
echo %PortableApp% not found!
echo.
goto PANAME )
rd /S /Q \PortableApps\%PortableApp%
if not errorlevel = 1 (
echo.
echo %PortableApp% deleted.)
pause > nul

Thanks, but I tried your script and it asks me to type the name of the app I want to remove.
it's too hard to look at the exact name, and then type in the long word into the script. Too much work
thanks anyway, but its just easier to scroll and manually delete the folder.
