Once Windows Live is configured on the device, it appears that it's not possible to delete it. One way I've found so far is to delete a registry entry. While this solves the problem, however, it makes it impossible to re-use Windows Live without a hard reset.
Today I found a much easier way to do that and one that does not require manipulating the registry. Windows Live can be reconfigured later without a hard reset.
To achieve that, open Windows Live in Start - Programs on the device. In the Menu, select Account Options and select Switch Accounts. This will remove all emails from your device. When done, the EULA page will appear. On that screen, make sure you select REJECT. Windows Live setup will stop and you will be taken back to WL main page - The page with Live Search and the Sign-in to Windows Live link. Check in Messaging and Windows Live mailbox is gone.

ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't change my password correctly so wouldnt sync with my email, so I did this then re-added my email.

THANKS SO MUCH!!! It was driving me mad
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this tip. I unwisely decided to synch more folders, thinking I'd the last 7 days in each as is the default in Exchange. It brough down everything, eating up my storage space. I was starting to think of how I'd figure out what files to delete since unchecking those folders and synching didn't delete them from memory. This saved me!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I let my brother set up his email on my device so he could look at his messages and only realized afterwards I couldn't figure out how to delete it... GOD BLESS U!!! =)

ReplyDeleteAh, yes, but how do you completely remove Windows Live from a Windows Mobile 6 device? I don't need to remove an account, but the software in its entirety. I don't use it and it's just wasting space.
