First off, check your Application Data Folder size, I'm guessing it's loading up with cached thumbnails and other data in different sub-folders.
Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\Cache can have over 10MB's of thumbnails and data alone. Clear it for now, and remember that every time you open HTC Album or any thumbnails, it will load back up again to some degree.
Application Data\Google Maps\Cache can also have large amounts of stored data as well. Clear it too. Please note that all versions of Google Maps, prior to v4, will use Main Storage for Application Data, even if installed to your Internal Storage or Storage Card.
Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher can be cleared too, but it will load back up again after a soft reset. In turn, you will need to use a program like ClearTemp to clean it once again, or you can do it manually with your file explorer. Depending on how many programs you have installed, clearing ProgLauncher, will save you 1MB to 4MBs of Main Storage.
Also, check out any other Application Data sub-folders. You may be able to save some precious main storage space in some of these as well, depending on what programs you have installed.
To keep these Application Data sub-folders from eating up the limited Diamond main storage space, you should set up ClearTemp (freeware), or SKtools and or MemMaid (payware) to clean these specific sub-folders or any other, by going into each of these cleaning programs main settings area and setting up which folders to clean.
You should also consider moving your wallpapers, photos, videos, Templates, UAContents, unused ringtones, unused alarms and most programs to Internal Storage (Storage Card for other WM PPCs). You can do this manually with your file explorer or with SKTools. SKTools is great for much of this, as it will move programs etc., and most of time, change the install information and registry edits to reflect the new location. Doing this can save large amounts of Main Storage.
Moreover, make sure that you have all messaging and mail attachments, as well as your Opera and IE cache, cookies, and history set to be stored in Internal Storage (or Storage Card, if your using a different WM PPC).
Here's a nice tip from rileyd5 in regard to changing where Opera caches it's files. "Change opera cache from device memory to internal storage or you need to clear the cache in opera frequently. If not, you will eat up a good portion of the remaining memory on the device. To manually change opera cache, open opera>type in the address bar opera:cache. then scroll down to user prefs. go to cachedirectory4 and change the line from /windows/ to /internal storage/ JUST this part not the whole line! Then scroll to the very bottom of the list and hit save, wait a few seconds for it to initiate, then close opera. Now when you use it again. all cache will go to internal storage".
I'm sure I'm forgetting some other items I normally move, but the above should be a good start to managing your Diamond or other WM PPC's limited main storage space.
Best to all,
