reside in the ROM portion of your handheld.

Treo handheld, the Palm Desktop software is located in the Handspring folder. If you 
upgraded from a previous version of Palm Desktop software, these files are most 
likely located in the Palm folder.
Removing Palm Desktop software
Removing Palm Desktop software also removes HotSync Manager. If you remove this software 
from your computer, you cannot synchronize your data. So, we highly recommend leaving Palm 
Desktop software on your computer.
To remove Palm Desktop software:

confirmation tone.
