Suddenly, youtube didn't want to open, claiming too little memory.
I checked and saw I had only 1.3MB left internally.
I decided to remove some installed apps, but that only gave another 5MB or so.
Then I used explorer and checked the program files directory and saw that the uninstalled apps still had directories in there with files in them.
I manually deleted those folders and was back to 50MB free internal memory.
strange.
Treesize mobile is free from MS Marketplace and very useful for tracking down those large folders.
Thank you for that tip, and sorry for the late reply.
Treesize mobile helped a lot.
It made me see that opera9 kept all downloaded cab files in the folder
windows/opera9/profile/download.
It was about 79MB of cab files, using internal storage memory, which I did not need and had no idea were there.

after several reg hacks and program installs, a lot of files and folders on my storage card are not there. For example the folder "Program Files" is not there so my apps are gone, also DCIM which has all my pics from my digital camera.
I know the files are still there because Its a 1 gig card and on spb today plug in it sas 570mb used but when i open it and select all the files and folders available and click on properties it says they are only 223mb so i'm missing 347mb worth of files, most of them pics which i really want, they're from my vacation last week and still haven't backed them up!
----------edit--------------------------------------------
got it!! i thought about it and figured out this wasn't a ppc specific problem, so i did some research, first got a couple hits to some websites that assist you in recovering pics off digital camera memory cards and figured out all i needed was a data recovery program. I used GetDataBack and its working perfectly!
hi
am having exactly the same problem. do you need a special format of getdataback to install on the wizard? once you find the files do you copy them elsewhere or do they just then show up on the memory card?
thanks
This may seem like a silly question, but once i've installed a cab file do i have to keep it in the program file folder on my internal storage or can i delete it to free up some memory?

You can delete the CAB after install, there's an option in Advanced Config to do this automatically for you

Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it....
Or you can keep the .cabs in a file named apps, so when you flash you have all your favorite apps at hand.

I'd also go for this one!
I keep mine on the internal storage so they are not robbing vital memory, but ZIP them in one file just to save space and tidy things up. Nice and easy to unzip if I ever flash the phone! (or the next time I do it, seems to be fortnightly at the mo).
Keep them. Best place for that is the internal storage. Sadly mine are in a folder called "Current" as I seem to be flashing on a regular basis (Swiftblades fault as he keeps updating his ROMS)
Oops, i've gone and deleted them all. But i've got them all on my pc anyhow. Prob put them back on my phone again then. I was just trying to free up some memory as i've only got around 20mb left. Not much considering i've only got 1 theme stored and a few additions on top.
Where does all the memory go to?
Hi need some help.
1. what is the defrence betwen program memory and storage memory.
i got on my jade 56% program memory and 91% storage memory.on the storage card i'm ok.
2. where can i see what files are in the storage memory as 91% is very high i dont understand whay it went up to 91% last a i saw it was around 60%.
most of my programes are in the storage card.
thanks in advance.
Storage Memory - The amount of memory allocated to data storage (pictures, notes, docs, music, .tmp etc)
Program memory - The amount of memory allocated to program storage.
Some programs load and build up hugh files in storage memory as time goes on, e.g. you tube. Do a clean up once in a while.
You can use file explorer (or TC or Resco) to see the files.
thank you azahidi
i have resco explorer but where can i fined under which folder/s i find files that i do not need. is there some application to do a clean up. any idea will help.
thanks again

One very good apps is Memory Maid (purchasable from i/net). You can also use some freeware apps e.g. ClenRAM and some others.

Resco should be able sort out the file size descending/ascending. Then it's up to your own judgement (need a bit of file mgmt experience). Anything that's outside \windows or \program folders are deletable if/when not required. Avoid meddling with files in \windows (if you're not familiar). even though some can be deleted (e.g some .wav files). Just to be save before deleting (if needed) copy the files to your SD Card in case you wrongly delete.
There's this file in my windows folder which is a massive 16MB, called "mxip_initdb" anyone know what it is?
It seems that opera9 keeps all cab files you downloaded in the folder:
windows/opera9/profile/download/
I bet you opera10 does the same.
I had about 79MB of application cab files there, using up internal storage memory, which I did not need, and had no idea were there.
I found them using 'treesize mobile', available on the marketplace for free.
Also, I checked the program files folder and found that applications which I had previously uninstalled still had folders in there with files in them.
I removed some applications to regain some storage space but it is depleting constantly. I cannot figure it out why. I use SD card to keep Opera cache. How can I prevent the storage space from depleting? Thanks.
I had same problem. I realised that when iuse you tube hundreds of files download temporary in system/windows/you tube. So delete that folder completely. But you will loose your history. And see in the folder system/application data/htc/ htc album/cache. And delte all files except maptable and thumbcaches. These files are not needed. and it also weighs a lot.
Thanks a lot Urvansh. I deleted all the files in htc album/cache except maptable and thumbcaches as you suggested. The files I deleted had taken about 18MB.

low on internal storage memory?, read this:

Go check out Clear Temp which is a great little app that helps you keep most of those pesky temp folders cleaned out and not using memory resources.
