In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load the OS to your BlackBerry.

Troubleshooting
If the OS you just installed is not available, then you can try deleting the vendor file(s) or delete the contents of the AppLoader folder.

Vendor
If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT+DEL to permanently delete.
Check here first:
32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

If the Loader still doesn't see the new OS then search PC for "Vendor".

If you still cannot locate a copy of the vendor file on your PC, then you can also delete the contents of the AppLoader folder.

Navigate to the AppLoader folder
32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
