How can i remove the junk files installed in my /windows directory? i saw many but i dont know if it is important. is there any programs that deletes any unusefull files or junk files? Thanks
your windows dir is filled with the files that windows contain
most are located in rom and can never be deleted
Some files like when i install a software and uninstall it some files will not be deleted. (ie. Help files, images, .txt etc)
got some exampes ?
i know that sometimes shortcuts are not removed from programs
and it's temp dir is also likely to get some temp files once in awhile
but i havent had issues with alot of space being lost to files not being removed
suppose you could always make a backup using activesync and then try
to remove stuff and softreset if it cause issues with programs or windows stuff then do a hardreset and restore your backup
maybe i was wrong. maybe the files that i saw is important and not a junk files. Thank You anyway.
There are utility programs like SpaceMaker and MemMaid which will do housekeeping for you. They delete the "junk" files from your device.

Hello All! (happy new year)
I want to erase some files on my Magician's windows folder. I am crazy about memory free on my mobilephone.
Thanks for your help
I would be careful which files to erase from the \Windows folder. Some files that are embedded in ROM cannot be deleted no matter how hard you try and can't be unlocked either.
You can use a tool like Valksoft Space Reclaimer to clean up any files leftover from previous uninstallation of software.
You can move the help files of the software installed from the \windows folder as well as the .uninstall files to your SD-card. With the latter, you need to move the appropriate one back to the \windows folder should you need to uninstall that program. That should clear up some space for you.
Damn it, i don't know with files, and if i have to restore a old backup. Is there some way to se with files got deleted? (i used total commander) though i have seen that you cant restore files i ppc
Be helpful to know what files you deleted, otherwise you could always hard reset and they will be placed back in the ROM and you could start fresh
Well, it could NOT of been anything to important. ROM files can't be deleted. So they were either use files, or added by proggies you installed.
There are some files in my windows folder, that I can't delete even after a soft rest and hard rest. The files I want to delete are useless demo and sound files that I don't use, which take up space. So is there a software I can use that some how helps you delete the files? Thank you.
If they're in the ROM, then you can't delete them. You'll need to use an image editor to edit the .nbh and remove them.
Shoot. There is a bunch of useless sounds and ringtones that I hate and will never use. That is like 500k each for 5-7 files.
Yea, we all have to cope with the same thing. If you'd like, i can cook a custom ROM for you (depending on your device, check my signature) and remove everything that you want.
I installed Sprite Backup which installed a lot of files on my phone and which on top of that wasn't uninstallable
Now I got two files in my Documents & Settings folder and one under default. I can't delete them.
Tried Total Commander, no luck.
Anyone know how to delete those files?
Thanks
Maybe with killbox from your computer.
I need help deleting some broken/missing icons.
For example, I removed the games and Transformers movies that came pre-installed on my memory card, but the icons are still there. I tried to delete them in file explorer but the phone will not allow me to do so.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks
Did you go to the window/startmenu folder and delete them from there. It should allow you to delete them from that folder in your windows folder. If you dont mind me asking why would you delete those things anyway?!
