I see a lot of tweaks showing how to save attachments to storage card. MY problem lies as the emails download. I had to Clear Storage and then re-linked my emal. I watched in horror as my device memory slowly leaked down to .03 MB. One message fully loaded but whenI went to open it, I got the MEMORY STORAGE CRITICALLY LOW alert. This is frustrating cause I don't even know where to clear this memory and get back to my default amount. Can someone please help

my prior post was in regard to the 'red constant light of doom', and this is a semifollowup post. i recieved some suggestions as to what to do, one of which made alot of since.
im a heavy text message user, and i know the messages tend to stack up in the memory, which was the suggestion that my internal memory is running low, and to delete my text messages from last year. well i am using the "clear" function, but it was taking forever.... so then i tried highlighting and deleting, which at least i could see it working, but with 5000+ messages in the sent folder and 5000+ in the inbox, i could see wasnt going to work fast enough.
my only other options are either to do a memory clear, but that is saying will reset my device to factory conditions (now is this before or after i upgraded with the 2.26 tmo rom???) or actually just do a hard reset (which i dont want to do, cuz if i do that i might as well mess around with installing a WM6 rom)....
so any advice or suggestions??
I would have patients and let the device erase all of the text messages. Also, there is a registry tweak in the wiki to move email and attachments to the SD card. If you apply this tweak, you can store all of your messages there.
Update: the reg tweak only stores your mail, not sms, I just tried it.
Hardreset will restore your phone to the last ROM you've flashed/upgraded to.
Anyway, if you look hard enough (google or this forum), you ought to able to find the file responsible for storing all the SMS .. and I'm sure if you were to delete/rename this file and let the OS recreate this file, you are effectively erased all the SMS without hardreset.

Clear your data, temp internet files (through PIE Menu)
Delete stored email or text message
remove old downloaded .cab files
read your owners manual... it tells you how to do these things.
Buy a storage card.
Hi,
As a title says, is there a maybe registry key that could disable low free storage space notification?
I have only 2.86 Mb left
Uninstalling programs from main memory is not an option!
Win mo 6.1
i had the same problem a few days ago, i cleared out my internet cookies, cache, and history... which took care of alot of it, but i also deleted call history and text messages... took me from under 2mb to 12mb... also try installing all of your stuff to your storage not main memory
I get an error saying:
The memory is full. Please delete some messages.
What does it mean?
And the error keeps popping up
I read somewhere it was because the sim sms box was full. I mean with 1gb rom and 16gb sd card why does it not store this information on the rom or sdcard?

The error can come from having Pics, Videos, Email, Ringtones all saved to the phone instead of the SD card. I would go through what is in your Documents folder and move everything to your SD card. It can also come from having programs installed to the phone memory.
Go to SMS. Delete any messages from T-Mobile or whatever your system provider is.
Then All Messages in the lower left
Menu on the right
Scroll down to Tools
Choose Empty Deleted Items
I had this problem too. Apparently by default it only moves deleted SMS to a "trash" until you do this.
But my memory is not full. I guess if have to delete some messages I will.
I had this same issue with one of my users, turned out to be the sim card. It was an older sim and i guess they do not have the same amount of memory as the newer ones. Get yourself a new sim and you will be GTG.
Messages stored on sim
GO to you messages and delete the messages with the icon of a sim card next to them. I just had this issue with my HD2 and now its solved.

I figured this out a little while ago, but it is still dumb that we get such an error.

Well it's referring to the memory on your SIM, not on your phone. The best way to avoid this is to just make sure you have the contacts on your SIM copied to the contact list on your phone, so the messages are saved in a way that doesn't cause this issue.
The Focus seems to be storing my messages on my SIM and so i'm running out of space pretty fast. Is it supposed to do that? I figured it'd keep it on the memory card or at least on the phone.

What type of Focus do you have, what OS version etc.
How many contacts and messages do you have? Are all those on the SIM?
Messages are stored by the OS in Focus i917 on internal storage, so unless the global memory is getting very low on free space, I don't see how it's possible what you're describing.
I have the Focus I917 with Mango installed. I do have contacts on my sim but they were all imported into the phone's memory.
But I just had a thought. I was using a dumb-phone earlier and it was storing messages on my SIM. I never deleted those messages so maybe it created the threads for those messages on the SIM itself.
I Cleared the SIM now, so i'll text like crazy for a bit and then post back here if it happens again.
Cheers
