Tablet App Removal

Is it possible to completely un-install an App?

I have an App form a local newspaper, that lets you read their paper for free for the first month. After the first month, you have to subscribe to be able to read it.

Is there a way to un-install and re-install so the app resets itself?

On a PC, I would do this by completely eradicating the registry of all traces of a particular program.

I have tried an un-install and re-install, but the app remembers the device.

Any ideas?

What kind of tablet are you on?

Or you could try and pay for the paper legally.

Yes I could, But I do actually buy the physical paper.
I know this sounds nuts - Just an experiment more than anything else!

I am not picking on this particular app, but more in general - can it be done?

Yes it can be done to RIP off the creators of this APP

I know how to un-install an App, but how do you nullify it from your tablet, so that if it is re-installed the app works like a new install, and does not remember that it has once been installed on your tablet.

Connect the tablet to your PC, check the folders and see if there's one relating to that app and delete it? (Not saying it would work, but would be the first thing I'd try).
