Actually, the very best way is to restart without packages installed and
then remove the package. Most problem occur when the newton crashes when
freezing/disabling before removing a package. And please be patient (allow
several minutes), don't restart pressing the button.

Hmm. In your case, Minimizer. But it actually can happen with *any*
package, because a package is not always responsible when a crash occurs
while it is removed. (I actually got it with inoffensive packages because
of other instable programs I had).
>The phenomenon you got usually happen when not all entries were removed.
I may add: because the Newton crashed while removing them
