Losing space on disk C

Performance, Troubleshooting S60 3rd Edition
Q. My smartphone is showing many megabytes less free space than there should be on my internal memory. Where's it all gone?
A. I'll bet that most of it's wasted in your \Data\Installs folder. A longstanding bug in S60 means that installed third party applications have their SIS install files left in this folder and not deleted. Use File manager to go into Installs and delete all the files there - they're not needed anymore!
