Hope somebody can give me a quick answer to this one.
I got up this morning to find that my MDA Pro is now reporting the "storage memory is critically low" error. Previous to this I'm *sure* it had at least 5Mb available. I've not installed anything (for weeks) so really can't understand it. What it has done in the meantime is synced my mail but all attachments are due to be soted on teh stoage card (but when checking the mail account settings there are currently 0k of attachments being stored).
I have soft-reset the device with no change in the storage space.
What I'd like to find is a utility that will tell me folder sizes so I can see what is being taken up where .... can't seem to find anything as yet that is free.
Any suggestions for software or any suggestions full stop?
mate,
I had a similar issue, check you haven't been inadvertently pressing the record button and making note recordings.
Go into notes and check it from there
Cheers

That's what it was for me. Well, something very similar.
check the internet cache and the terminal server cache if you use it, these can grow quickly without realising. I have started immediately deleting cache content everytime I finish.
ie menu tools options, 2nd tab delete offline.
That is true. I gained 13MB by deleteing the offline cache files.
Yup I.E. Cache, plus, i also had my emails (mainly voicemail .wav file attachments) saving onto the main memory, it's in the messages folder under windows.
I deleted those, and moved my storage for my email attachments to my SD card.
Freed up like 15mb like this..
Great work
Many thanks guys, I have been searching for all sorts of methods to free up some memory. I had installed alot of programes on my XDA Exec and thought I have used up all my memory and was strugling to get some memory back. But this trick of deleting offline files from the Internet Explorer is just given me 13.77MB. Walla, many thanks again.
cache size
I think the problem is that the cache size is set to some ridiculously high number in the registry, but there's no way to change it. I tried many times to reduce it from the apparent 16MB setting (I think it was 16MB) in MemMaid, but after a soft reset, it goes back to 16MB. Anybody have a solution to this?
Get Memmaid and run it once in a while..
Just started getting "storage memory is critically low
I use Memmaid and got it to put my IE & Avantgo cache on SD card

can you walk me through how this would work. Do I just cut and paste the folder. Will I still be able to access the attachments?
Hi,
this is my problem:
The device memory on my PPC is very low so I enabled the Extended Storage on my device, deleted all the operator cabs and installed some application into it.
The problem is, that this \ExtStorage is shown as a storage card in my explorer. So Pocket Outlook offers to store email attachments only into this place.
What can I do now? Can I change the registry, so that outlook stores the files onto the true SD card?
Or can I disable the Extended Storage and all the shortcuts to the apps there will still work?
My phone memory is full, and more than likely its because of the large amount of messages I have stored on the phone. Is there a way to store my messages on my storage card instead of on my phone?
copy them as notes (txt files) on the storage card. I believe there may be an option to save messages (might be only attachments) to the storage card. May depend on your rom...
is there some sort of hack to save messages to my storage card?
I wanted to store my messages on my Storage Card. So to do this i used SKtools. So far so good. After a soft reset no programs are working anymore.
After some research I found out that my messages indeed were stored @ Storage Card\my messages ...BUT the REAL Storage Card was renamed to Storage Card2. That was the reason programs are no longer working.
I really dont now why SKtools should create a new folder with teh same name. Anyone knows this problem?
It's not SKTools renaming your card, it's your HD2.
I posted a few things about this early on and got no interest or response - you are the first person other than me who has tried this (apparently!).
In the absense of a more definitive answer, I am assuming that the storage card is slow to mount on the HD2, so the system can't find it when initialising mail and so creates it's own 'Storage Card' folder. When the real card is mounted it is therefore named 'Storage Card2'.
As for what to do about it... Well, there is talk dating back a couple of years about delaying the loading of mail applications to give the card a chance to mount, but that dates back to WM5 and WM6 and relates to disabling the mail plugin on the Today Screen. With that in mind I tried checking the Startup Folder and removed the link to poutlook that was in there, but it made no difference.
It may just be another example of where HTC in trying to improve the interface have badly impacted what was a crucial piece of functiuonality for me - the ability to move my mail to the Storage Card. Given the issues being reported with storage space on the device, this is a major pain!
You can at least use the system software to send any attachments to the Storage Card - that works without issue.
Guys. I have a question about synchronizing an exchange mailbox. With my former phone, the Blackstone, I was used to set the registry tweaks for the path where the mails were stored on the storage card. But those tweaks don't work with the Leo because the storage card is initialized in a different way. So when those tweaks are enabled, my storage card becomes storage card2. Is there a way to make this work or make sure the mails are stored at the storage card in a, before specified, directory?
Do you mean
Inbox>Menu>Tools>Options> and at the bottom storage
and tick the box, (when available use this storage card to store the attachments)
??
Yeah, well partly this is what I was looking for. But it now only stores the attachments on the storage card not the mails. And I like to store the mails on that place as well.
