Accidentally "remove from device" app instead of uninstall
I downloaded an app and return to Amazon. I "removed from device" instead of uninstalling. Ooops..... Don't know why I did that.

Anything I can do to fix this goof? Since I returned it I can not redownload and uninstall again.

What a goon.

If you removed it from your device, I think it's now in the Cloud.

If you want it, simply install again.

If you want to delete it entirely from your account, I think you have to do that from the web.

I thought the KFHD was like a computer, you must uninstall. If you just delete from device doesn't that leave garbage behind?

This was a returned App, so I can't redownload and uninstall.

When you delete an app from a tablet, all of the data is deleted as well.

Why is there an option to "uninstall" then? If just deleted does the same thing? I find this rather strange.

Just different terminology that means the same thing. On the fire, removing from the device is the same as deleting/uninstalling.

Go to your amazon manage my account and look at your apps and devices. If your apps list (can be several pages) does not show the app that you wanted to return you are good to go.


Edit: Reread your o/p do you still have the app on your kindle? Can you still run it or see it?
