Aaargh! I copied a NetFront 3.1.sis file to my 6600! that file is stored in my inbox. The problem is that I am unable to delete that good for nothing space occupying file. The file size is around 750 KB :@ and is taking up the 6mb memory of my phone! When I try to delete it, it gives the following error "General: Already in use !" Can someone tell me how to get rid of this file !?
ThankYou!

i have got this problem twice, the first time i was lucky because i have got a previous back up on the memory card for the phone memory so i restored the previous back up which solved the problem.
the second time i used the fexplorer or seleQ programs which is an explorer program for the mobile ,u can open it the go to c:\ then choose system then mail then search for ur mail there and try to delete it.
if u fail to delete it like this try to rename the file first then delete.
i hope this will help
seleQ is attached it is 84.6 kb

This problem normally occurs when the phone is running in memory.

- Hold down the blue symbian key and end the application if running
- Turn the phone off then on
- Make sure nothing is starting or running the file on startup
- Install a file manager like FileMan by Symbianware and go into the "mailbox" folder, locate the SIS file and you should be able to delete it!

Good luck!
