There is alot of useless stuff in Windows dir and some of them can't be deleted
* Why the hell should help files and pictures for all programs is stored automaticly in windows dir?
* And there is a dir called AppMgr with 3 MB stuff useless inside
* Big today themes, Big pictures and even some 3gp/mp4 videos in there
I moved the help files to my Storage Card, replaced the BIG (2MB) themes with some smaller one, But there are some stuff which can't be overwritten I need help with (ex. I want to move powerpoint and some other programs to my Storage Card)
Is there a manual for which file is harmless to remove from windows dir? and how to do it?
Need advice

This is one thing that also ticks me off. I absolutely hate programs that install anything anywhere but the installation directory of the program. Some programs just install the help file right in the same dirctory, and it works fine there. It makes it so much easier to delete all the stray junk left behind, and programs that do not install crap everywhere can easily be moved by just moving the directory. This is the essence of clean software. This is how it works on a Mac, and I will be damned if anyone can prove to me that it is so much better to litter my entire computer with crap everywhere.

Well apprently I am not helping you.. just asking :how did you succeed replacing the 2m Themes ? It won't let me do it.
Tks
I gave another theme the same name as the one in windows dir and overwritten that using Resco Explorer

Not sure, but isn't the AppMgr folder used for the Remove Programs function?

It is, and you may safely remove/relocate it to somewhere else. You'll only need it again when you uninstall a given app. Please see for example http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?p=775972 for more info.

Thanks for that info. However, keeping the AppMgr folder may not be useful for uninstalling if you are in the habit of restoring your device from a backup - as I do. Installations appear to use unique IDs that are not recreated when the backup is restored, so subsequent uninstalls (and upgrades with enforced uninstall) fail.
Are you sure you've overwritten the big themes. My guess they were in your rom & all you did was putting a small theme in ram. Costs you only memory then...

I've the same opinion. This is probably what you did. You can't overwrite files in ROM. In case you can, it will not help you with clen RAM :-(

On a Mac you do get some associated files ( app prefs or plists, or other support files and some plug-ins) installed in other places asides from the application dierctory or folder, however these are usually minimal and still easily found & deleted if required.
This is one of the difficulties any Mac user finds with Windows and probably why more switch from Wintels to Apples than vice versa....
ahem.. anyway back to WM5...

No. You CAN overwrite files with Resco. Me too. I did it many times.
And you are not right. It will help you not exactly to clean the RAM, but speedup your PDA, because WM5 uses not just RAM for calculating, but storage memory too for extracted files which need it, or when you install an application from your PC, the installer .exe file first copy its .cab file to your storage memory. You can check it when you install something. Look at the size of your Storage when it asks to choose where to install, and look after program installed.
someone should write an application that automates this. notify the maker of tweaks2k2 or vijay555
Can you tell me what happens when you delete a file which was supposed to be written in rom, keep a copy of it somewhere else. I know WM5 differs from 2K3, but I can hardly believe that you can cause severe damage to your CE rom. & on my magician I can 'overwrite' CE-rom files with ram files, but when I delete them the original CE-rom file shows again.
So by overwriting a large theme in rom with a small theme, as has been claimed, I guess you always loose space unless you can also delete the original theme from the rom. & if that's possible why overwrite it, instead of deleting it straight away?
Get my point? I'm not an unbeliever, just not convinced that you don't loose some kind of precious storage.

Thought about .tmp files:
I have a TyTn and my storage memory is down to about 23mb. I was exploring my device with Resco Explorer and explored \Windows\AppMgr. There were a lot of folders in the directory, mostly application folders that I installed in my device. There is also a folder named \Install (\Windows\AppMgr\Install). The \Install folder contains .cab files that are 8mb large. the app folders in \AppMgr contains .dll and .tmp files. I deleted ALL the .tmp files and the .cab files and my available storage memory is now 34mb. There were no negative effects with such deletions even after a few resets and application launching.
I believe that the .tmp files were created during installs and the .cab files were copied when installing files to device memory.
Hope this will help those with low storage memory. Just be sure to make a backup before deleting the files I mentioned. Thanks.
Those are really useless. thank you.
would like to delete those, but it's file protected, do any guys know any software can ignore the protection and delete it? thanks
Just use a better filemanager. Try TotalCommander (choose the cab for arm/xscale/pxa to install directly from pda).
thanks for your reply. I tried the TotalCommander, still not able to delete those. Very sad.
try deleting it using htc album, worked for me...
These Album samples reside in the directory Internal Storage\My Documents\My Pictures. Just use any File Explorer to go there and delete them and they are gone..
ya, i deleted those in "my pictures", but discover there are copies in windows directory and not able to be deleted.
+ 1
These Album Sample xx files are totally useless and each of them takes about 900 Ko of memory space.
How is it possible there is no way to remove all the album samples as well as the unused ringtones.
Why such a waste of memory space ?
Even with Total Commander it does not work....
It's only possible by recooking a ROM.
I've recooked the 2.03 ROM, and I removed the album files and ringtones. I'm going to upload and release it later.
They are in ROM. Even if you delete them, what good will that do? It's not like you'll be freeing memory that can be used by the system.

That is why a recooked ROM is necessary.

I think that what he meant is that they only take up storage space, not RAM.
To me 900 kb of storage space is no big deal since the Diamond has plenty of storage and I haven't noticed any speed difference between the small device storage (ROM) and internal storage (4gb).
Hello guys,
I have a bigger problem I hope you can help me with...
My internal storage is somehow messed up. This has effects on MTP and on some apps like the stock camera.
When accessing my internal storage by MTP from PC, only a few folders and files are visible. In contrast, if I list the content of "/mnt/sdcard" or "/storage/sdcard0" they show all my files and folders as one would expect. Also, files visible on the PC are inside this path and even when i copy a file from the PC, it is placed here.
The more serious problem is, that some apps are not able to find their files and folders inside die storage anymore. As an example, the camera app asks me to insert a sd card before taking a picture and Winamp doesn't find my music anymore.
What i tried so far:
Copying files from and to storage with Dropsync, FolderSync and ES Explorer: works without problems
I checked the rights of the files with the terminal: nothing interesting there
I cleared my whole storage (thanks to Unlock procedure) and flashed a new Custom ROM
I drank a lot of coffee because it got late
Nothing worked.
Please help, Thanks!
So thats me again.
I finally found the correct allready existing post. In this thread user dlzinc describes that one has to fix the permissions for /data/media. Good to know that i was right with permissions, bad that i didn't go through with it in the first place.

I can no longer see files in my internal memory!
They were present when I connected my phone to laptop and copied some files.
There was an empty folder named /storage/emulated/0 inside the original /storage/emulated/0 directory.
As it was empty, I tried deleting it but it was taking a long time so I cancelled the process.
After I disconnected my device, while on ES File Explorer, I discovered that majority of my files weren't showing up. I selected all the files which are displayed and saw their size, a mere 20MB, and the Homepage on ES File Explorer shows usage to be 2.35GB/12.80GB.
Is it some sort of virus that created a seemingly empty folder inside the actual directory? And what about the files that were showing up previously alongside the folder?
I believe that I may have deleted my files when I tried deleting that folder. And why would that folder seem to be empty? Please help me out here!
Not a solution but might help
Well, almost same thing happened to me a few days ago. I too saw that empty folder and couldn't find the files I needed. I too deleted that folder. Except I deleted it completely. After disconnecting I realized that my phone was empty. There was nothing in the internal storage. Finally I realized that it's actually a virtual folder that won't show any files in your pc but that exactly where all your files are. So, NEVER EVER delete that folder.
Never delete dat folder
Android supports multiple user accounts and store their files
Storage/emulated/0
Storage/emulated/1
Etc
Sometimes that folder shows up when u connect to pc, dont know its a bug or not.

I've learnt my lesson.
Anyway, I was able to recover my images by cloning the userdata partition and mounting it on my laptop and running Recuva on it.
Thanks for you responses.

Hi. It's like, where are these files?
My phone is full and I've looked everywhere trying to find where these files are that are taking up all my space.
The only folder I found anything in is always the DCIM folder, and all the others have no files in them. I've taken out and deleted all I can from all the hidden folders and my phone is still almost empty with space.
Anyone have this problem or know where to locate these files that are taking up all the space?
Thank you,
Rob
