phone memory vanishing..? n95 8gb

12 replies · 4,893 views · Started 06 August 2008

A while ago I had nealy 100mb free on my phone memory. I always saven everything to mass memory. I have installed a couple of ngage games and selected mass memory. My memory is now down to around 30mb or so.
I have no idea why. If I cick memory details nothing is shown up on phone memory as to where it would have all gone.

Any ideas?

Messages are stored onto the phone memory as standard, so if you have lots of messages on there, they'll take more space up than you'd realise

Download xplore or y-browser if you haven't got either then have a look at C:System/dmgr and the .swf files on C:Temp. All these files can be deleted.

ive got y browser.

nothing appears i just find it strange that c drive seems to be getting less all the time when i save everything i can to mass memory.
So i can delete them files without any problems?

i just want to confirm i can delete

C:\System\temp\ all the swf files? there is a RtspTemp.ram file in there too?

in C:\System\dmgr\ there are 5 folders 10008d39, 102750d5 102750e1 20007803 20007b39

what are the temp swf files? are they youtube videos or something?

and what are the dmgr files?

The temp files are just flash content from ads etc. on the sites you have surfed to. The dmgr files are the files you have downloaded. Inside each of those numbered files is a map named 'Content' and this keeps a copy of everything you download. Deleting this won't take anything away it's just an extra copy. Just highlight each of the numbered files and delete

ive removed them swf files now i have got 41mb out of 134mb. i just find it amzing as i remember having 100mb free when i first upgraded to v20 a few months ago and as i said everything i put on the phone i always pick mass memory

im not sure ive done it right then. I clicked in them numbered files i listed and went to "content" but only one of them showed any files actually in it.

Am i trying to delete the correct items?

thanks for your help

Yeah I meant the content files.
I've been looking through my own C drive with Xplore and the most I can free up is about 85 of 147mbs. The rest is small stuff and about 40 apps. Be sure to clear the cache and I did find a Nokia N-series video (in My Videos) at a hefty 9.8mbs.

still strugling with this. Ive got 20mb left now. Ive used y browser and cant see anything big in c drive at all...
