Delete Mail-files?

5 replies · 1,684 views · Started 03 October 2002

Hi, perhaps someone can help me.

I found with SeleQ that at C:\system\Mail there are a lot of folders (1 ... 9 a .... f) containing subfolders and files (like *.htm - but I havent saved any mails with attachments) which make a lot of data trash.

Is it sure to delete the folders?

I have the same folders...and I haven�t saved any email...but I�m afraid to deleting them 😉

It is not recomended to delete any files or folders under the c:\system\Mail.
If one really want to delete the attachment,
delete them from Inbox using Messaging application.

All the incoming mail,msg,Ir,Bluetooth attachment are saved under this folder and the system refer to the structure under it.

One can copy the file under it to somewhere else .
(eg. Make a copy of the attachment or beam-in file).
But delete them using Messaging application.

Thats the problem - the messaging application doesnt show any attachments. I guess they are remnants from already deleted mails ... 😞
