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.

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.

I'm guessing .unload files are used when un-installing ..... If I don't intend to uninstall a particular program, would it do any harm to delete the associated .unload file to free up some RAM ??
Hi,
Can I unlock files from Windows directory , for example: camera.exe and delete them. When I try to delete this file I receive an error. There are any programs for unlocking or I must edit ROM? And last question, if i delete this file, it will be more memory available?
I have HTC Charmer with WM5.
files located in the rom cant be deleted and if they could it would not add memory for applications or storage

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You cannot remove files that are part of the ROM. You should be able to insert files but not replace them, unless you use TotalCommander.
Hi all,
I need to overwrite few files into Windows Folder.
I mean to install new themes.
But my device is not allowing to overwrite. Showing error.
Plsss help me.
Use total commander......back-up the original files in case you want to go back.....
You will need total commander to replace system files and ROMextractor to extract locked system files. Hope, this helped ganesh.
Thanks to all
