Also, if you use Google Maps, it will take up more and more Main Storage space over time, even if installed to Internal Storage. This is due to it storing your user data to the Main Storage Application Data\Google Maps Folder. For that reason alone, I use Bing instead of Google Maps with the Diamond and Sense 2.5 for the most part. Please note that you can set up ClearTemp, in it's main settings area, to clean specific folders. In turn, you can have it clean the Google Maps Application Data Folder if needed. Plus, you can have it clean the Application Data\HTC\Album\Cache as well as Application Data\HTC\Prolauncher Folder or another folder that loads up with data, like mwalt2 stated. This will help save precious space as well. Further, if you're still running low on Main Storage, make sure to have all email attachments set to be stored on Internal Storage as well as all images including videos, pictures, etc... You can also move wallpapers there too.

LIke OMJ said, Sense 2.5 is not meant for the Diamond, so you're going to have to move things and manage your available storage much more. Here, I load around hundred extra programs and games, push everything possible to Internal Storage, use ClearTemp, SKtools, and MemMaid to manage the system resources, and am able keep 10MB's to 14MB's of Main Storage free with OMJ's Sense 2.5 ROMs.

Hope this helps...

Moreover, thanks again OMJ for all the great cooking work, and thank you mwalt2 for posting the MobileMonger zip as well as all your other helpful posts. Cheers!
Best to all,

Thank you and OMJ for your responses!

I didn't install Bing to Internal Storage. I'll make that change. rhacy, what version of ClearTemp are you using? The version I installed isn't allowing me to edit the 2 custom folders (or I am not doing it right). Would you be able to post the cab you are using?

OMJ, I think a cab install for Google Maps would be great since it is so large. Will a cab install keep all the temp files on Internal Storage if we install there?

I wish we could move the storage location for some of the storage memory hogs to Internal Storage (eg, HTC Album, email cache, pic messages, google maps, bing, etc.)
