I try to figure out how to delete file from my HTC 8S.
Phone folder (MUSIC "not SD") I have uploaded the mp3, now i can not get rid of it - no permission to delete the file.
How can I do this?

i skip installing the ext rom after doing a hard reset. i want to install caller_id but it wont let me... my file is Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.cab. when installing it say "The file "\Windows\iacontacts.dll" is in use or is in ROM. If the file is not in ROM, please cloase the application using the file." what should i do with this? and can i install this in storage? Thanks in advance to whoever give replies.
This problem suggests caller id or Photo Contacts is already installed on your device. Check to see if Photo Contacts is in your programs list.
If not, go to the windows folder and try to rename iacontacts.dll to iacontacts.old and then delete this file. Attempt your install again.
Your install may give you the same message for additonal files, repeat the above for each file named.
The files which are in used by the device will not be overwritten. You have to browse to \windows and rename each of those files. After that, install again. I have the same situation and it works now.

Glad to here you were able to solve. Yes, you may delete the file(s) you renamed .old.
Hello all. I have a wav/mp3 file that I'd like to use as my new message alert. When I select the file from the file explorer on media card, the file plays fine. However, when I assign this same file as the alert file, it will not play? Any thoughts?? Thanks folks!!

did you save it in the ringtones folder in My Documents?
Tried it; didn't work. Also, I'm using other files as alerts that are not in the ringtone folder successfully?
I need help deleting some broken/missing icons.
For example, I removed the games and Transformers movies that came pre-installed on my memory card, but the icons are still there. I tried to delete them in file explorer but the phone will not allow me to do so.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks
Did you go to the window/startmenu folder and delete them from there. It should allow you to delete them from that folder in your windows folder. If you dont mind me asking why would you delete those things anyway?!

1. On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor
2. Save the blank file as “.nomedia”
Make sure that the Save as type is set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”
3. Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing audio files you don’t want to show up.
(Example: If you want to block CoPilot sound files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/copilot folder)
4. Reboot your phone and the files should no longer be viewable

absolutely brilliant, I've been looking for this answer for ages!
However, there is one thing it doesn't stop for me: I have a folder called Android/cache which is autocreated on reboot (I'm assuming), and my .nomedia file get's deleted with each reboot from that folder. This folder holds all the notifications/ringtones etc that come from HTC Hub. Anyone else experiencing this? Obviously this only really applies to the Desire HD builds.
It works also with graphic files. Great!!!
Now does that .nomedia file need to be placed in the particular folder the image is in or does it work by plaing in the parent folder. I ask because my album art shows up in the gallery and I have roughly 1000 songs, it would be way too much to have to place in each song folder lol

yeah, it needs to be in every folder you want to "hide" it doesn't affect child folders.

Put one in the Android/root/cache folder, and it'll get copied back on reboot.
Dang, is there an option to copy one file to all folders? lol

I had that idea already lol, for some reason after a reboot tho the file disappears and the cache folder get's emptied then refilled with my notifications but no .nomedia (like a complete refresh but without the file I put in). not a major problem just a bit annoying.
Worked like a charm. Thanks Much Sk0o.
Hi,
I have add a picture in a folder -of my Sdcard but when I tried to assign this picture to a contact, the picture was not appearing. I had the same problem
with Mp3 files. New ones are not appearing except after a full reboot.
Of course the new files were really in the folders.
How can I refresh my HD without having to reboot it?
Thanks
Daniel
I have found the problem:
When I am handling files with the file manager "Root Explorer", it doesn't refresh the files and folders until remounting the SDcard. With Astro File manager, it works perfectly.
