I have a small annoyance with my E71-1. A couple of weeks ago I was playing around with some themes and installed them to the C: drive rather than the card, as when I plugged the handset into the computer it would default to a boring theme. I kept my eye on how much free space I had on the C: drive using Jbak Taskman, down from ~50 Mb to ~15 Mb. When I removed those themes I didn�t want, the amount of free space increased to 18 Mb or so, but hasn�t been restored.
There�s no ill effect to the E71. I�m storing messages on the card, I�ve cleared the browser cache, but the amount of space on the C: drive is still at the 18 Mb point. Short of a factory refresh or buying an application that can let me look at hidden files, is there anything I can try?🙄
To get rid of all useless C: disk occupation , you ought to do a hard reset : be aware of having a backup of calendar and contacts ! Move all other important files , like Images and music to MemoryCard .
Reset Phone see this thread :

Install all Apps , themes and other files on MemoryCard when you have the choice . When you are a heavy user buy a 16 GB SDhc .
Here a thread about keeping C: disk clean (works also for E71) :

Hey jApi NL
Many thanks for the very quick response! :icon14: It looks like it is as I had feared and I need to do a hard reset. If I�m going to do this then I may as well debrand the handset too.
Thanks for the tip. I�ll read the memory cleaning article too.
Okay, I know it�s bad form to follow my own post, but I decided to have a peek at my C: drive all the same so I downloaded Y-browser and had a burrow. Quite curiously enough, within the C:\System\dmgr\10008d39\Contents folder I found a gazillion (!) ZIP files that were the downloaded themes I�d been playing around with. These have now been happily deleted and, hey presto, free C: space is back up where it should be. :icon14:
