Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for remote management of applications downloaded to a personal portable appliance. Applications comprising programs and data structures are updated to include a dummy application that can replace the ordinarily executable application and that manipulates the data structure when invoked, so as to limit it. The dummy application is subsequently reduced to have a limited amount of the original functionality and to prompt the user to delete it.
