iPhone 3g Applications not working.

Hi there, my name is Eden
I just recently bought my iPhone 3g and recieved it yesterday, luckily on my birthday=P
Anyways, my iPhone was working perfectly with no problems and no errors, untill now. I downloaded an Application, iLightr and while it was loading to be downloaded, i deleted some other applications i Did not want no more. When the iLightr application was done, those applications i delete and another application that i never seen popped back up. I deleted them again including the application i never seen.
Anyway, this application was named something with an F i dont remember perfectly.
After deleting those applications, I tried to work my AIM Application. It did not work. When i clicked it, screen goes white with stripe as if its about to load AIM and then it goes back to the main page of the iPhone were i have my applications, SMS AIM Facebook Myspace and games.
All my applications now do this, and it is bugging me out.

Can someone help me in an easy way because I am still a child and do not understand a lot of words that are complicated. Thanks!

Envision, Windows XP, Nothing

Thanks! This worked for me, too. The only question that I have now, though..is what to do moving forward. If I download any more apps through the phone, will I have to repeat the same process? Is the better method to download apps through itunes on my laptop then syncing with the phone?

Just wondering if anyone had the same problem, fixed it, then learned what to do to prevent it in the future.
Thanks!
