how do I delete a file in /windows directory - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

There is a file that is taking up over 1mb of space and I want to get rid of it. It is just the cingular tune that I don't use.

Please delete. I hit the post twice.

Looks like the duplicate post has been deleted, but I still can't delete the cingular ring tone that takes over 1mb in my /windows directory. Any help is apreciated

need to know this too!

If its in the ROM then you cant delete it. You could cook your own ROM without it

Thanks Senergy. I'll give it a try.

Hi I have asked this many occasions - in fact I would also like to get rid of the document and settings directory. It currently takes about 1.5mb on my device.
There is a program cleartemp that will remove contents of directories during reboot. However I am pretty sure that the files contained in the above directory and pim.vol are needed by the system, so removing them could crash your device.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
I believe that if you were to make your own ROM you could edit the registry and move the files before flashing it into your Uni.
At the same time you could rip out WMP and PIE, replacing them with more useful apps like TCPMP and Opera, putting these programs into the 128MB flash instead of the 64MB storage. However, after reading a thread here about using MP3 ringtones and having WMP doing the decoding, I wonder how integrated it is and just what would happen if you took it (and it's registry entries) out of your system. Maybe just taking some crap like the Welcome program and some help/graphics files would leave you enough room in ROM to do this?
Grr, I should really get on and try this so that I can speak with certainty, shouldn't I?

How to delete a font from the windows folder?

Greetings!
I manually copied a japanese font into my windows/fonts folder, but now when i try to delete it, my o2 neo says its in use and i can't delete it.
Of course i terminated all tasks and rebooted several times but i still can't delete it.
Does anyone of you have any suggestions regarding my situation? Maybe a program to unlock files? Or a Program which will delete the file after the next reboot or something similar?
Help is greatly appreciated!

So i guess the only choice is to do a hard reset?
Isn't there a little trick i could use to delete that stupid .ttf file?
Hi,
you must rename the *.ttf to *.old or so.
then softreset and than delete.
*.ttf is loaded automatic at system
Menkul
Thats impossible!!!
It really worked!
Thank you soo much Menkul!
I even didn't try that out, because i thought the OS wouldn't allow me to rename a locked file

Guys, you are so fantastic, without you life with PPCs would be incredibly harder. This tip saved me hours of restore-work.
Thanks for your engagement, I will honor this
rename it
reset
and delete it

Deleting files in use?

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.

Cannot edit/delete files in /Windows

I cannot edit/delete files in /Windows directory because all the files there are marked as read only. I tried to fix low in call volume and expand SMS typing area but I can't do any of that cause the device doesn't let me. Any ideas?
You won't get much response posting this in the accessories forum.
Try again...

[Solved] Is there a better Mortscript than this to delete Bing wav files?

Here is my Delete Bing .wav files mortscript is there any faster way to delete them? It just takes longer on the startup. I'm not all that good with mortscript so if anyone knows a better or faster way let me know.
PS the reason for Deleting them as they are moved to Program files anyway and are not needed in Windows. Plus they show up as ring tones.
Code:

Instead of deleting them with mortscript, why not add them with a cab or mortscript rar install during customizations.
I dont know why you're wasting your time with that anyway... Not like you can delete files that are cooked in anyway !!
And to offer a better solution... either do what indagroove suggested, or put rename all your wav to wa_ when you cook them in, then with a mortscript or a simple app.dat move to them program files and rename them back *.wav
I think I will try indagroves method. Anything using app.dat will still leave the original files in windows just like the original External package does.
Thanks for the help guys.
