Did you reboot after uninstalling?
Because even though you uninstall an app, it could still be running in memory...

Thank's a ton.
It worked like a charm.
It is so silly that I forgot to reboot the device

You can also remove programs using "apt-get purge" from the command-line, which is a more "complete" removal of programs than "apt-get remove" (what the app managers use in the background for removal), but that's not always guaranteed to remove everything either, as far as I know. However, if the program is properly packaged, whatever's left will be just folders with config data and the like.

I am facing one problem regarding removing of application.
Recently I have installed Advanced interface switcher.
played with it for some time and then removed it.
Also I have installed wifi switcher it is working fine changing the status of wifi shows a popup in the center of the screen.
but after removing the Advanced interface switcher now I get to popup's whenever I disable or enable wifi. one at the center and one at the top of the screen.
can you please let me know how to completely remove the application and its dependencies and its configuration file.
Regards,
Hitesh
