So cut the cwap - Heres the question that does'th plague ones mind

if the manager reports this:

11kB Calendar
104kB Contacts
144B Documents
27kB Messages
256kB Images
28kB Sound Files
590kB Applications
---------------------
3636kB Mem. in use
457kB Free Memory

Well what I dont understand is - that all equals to aprox 2.8MB - Then why the hell does it say 3636kB Mem in use if its only report in total off 2.8 used?! Im confussed!!! I wanna my space back!

For some stupid reason, the App. Manager only shows *.jar applications you've installed and not your *.sis

The first screen shows your *.sis so don't forget to add those as well.

And the rest of your missing space is probably being used by registry and useless data from previous installs.

Most of the useless data I've found were to be in C: root folder. But be careful not to delete a component of an application is installed. You can delete components of the applications that you've removed.

I had the trial version of Handy Safe. after finding it wasn't of any use to me, I deleted it. Using a file manager, I found that a Handy Safe component was still in my C:root folder taking up 16kb (the little bastard)

Not at all. Maybe for you, but I don't see the reason why you should generalize it.

Handy Safe is a good App.

I totally agree with this. Handy safe is good app, who should always remember those stupid PINs? Now I can have them in my cell phone 😊
