Windows Phone includes some OEM apps such as Accessories and Extras and Info on Lumia handsets which can sometimes cause trouble, like the most recent update to Touch.

Windowsblogitalia discovered a neat trick, demoed by reader Aakash Sharma , to uninstall these apps, and the hack is pretty simple.

Simple go to settings  >  date + time  and  change the calender date and time zone to 2115 and Amsterdam, as show in the video, and you will be able to un-install glance , feedback apps , storage cleaner etc.

You can reinstall the apps with SYSpusher, which can be found in the Windows Phone Store here.

The trick works with both windows phone 8.1 and 8.0.
