I need advice regarding how to free up memory on the C drive.

I did not installed anything there.

Is this affecting my 9210 preformance?

How to free up more RAM memory also?

Got stucked 😉

Your c drive is good enough, freeing more space won't help you at all.
Your ram is very very low! Check your running programs and kill the ones you don't need!

i'm using Smart Memory.. i've 30% -- of it free all the time..
how can i increase this thing??
PS! i don't have any running apps..!

Got 40% in smart memory, but I start off with about 47%.
I've got it after a format and selective re-install

Clearing down your C: drive won't have any impact on performance, but it will have an impact in installing new apps as most of these copy the .SIS files to the C: then installed them on the D: (provided you selected that during install).

A good trick is to copy all files from c:\system\install (except install.log) to d:\system\install (you may need to create this directory).

HTH

XxX is right.

How do we clean up RAM?

Or putting it on a diferent way:

Does the aplications installed on the device affect the RAM usage?

If this is true, I will have to ZIP some installed aplications that I do not use so often.

By the way, an other way to free up some memory is to get rid of your help files on the C drive. As well, I agree that formatting your phone and reinstalling almost everything on the D drive will give you a very good result towards what yu are looking for.
