PROBLEM
In ESRI's .pdf "ArcGIS ® 9 Installing ArcPad® 7.0.1", users are instructed to uninstall fonts on Windows CE computers, as follows:
"There are issues with uninstalling fonts on Windows CE computers. Consequently, uninstalling ArcPad 7.0.1 on Windows CE requires a two-pass uninstall.
Before uninstalling ArcPad ..., you must remove the ESRI font files manually by using Windows Explorer on your desktop PC to navigate to the \Windows\Fonts folder on your connected Windows CE computer, and then use the standard file delete method in Windows Explorer to remove the esri_11s.ttf, esri_30s.ttf, esri_49s.ttf, and esri_144s.ttf font files."
In uninstalling ArcPad 7.0.0, some users may be unsuccessful in "... [using] the standard file delete method in Windows Explorer to remove the esri_11s.ttf, esri_30s.ttf, esri_49s.ttf, and esri_144s.ttf font files."
Although a user may correctly follow the instructions and access the Windows CE computer's Windows > Fonts folder from the PC, the user may still receive an error message on the PC that the fonts cannot be deleted, because the fonts are in use on the connected CE computer.
