When I look at TreeSize Mobile, it tells me that most space used is in the Windows folder (not a huge surprise) but it also indicates there are ~9500 files in the main Windows folder alone (not incl subfolders). First off, is that normal? How many files are in your Windows folder?

When I look at the files, a bunch start with numbers. Some look like registry entry names (ie, xx-xxxxxx-xxx-xxx) and a lot have a number followed by "_manila". What are these? Is there a tool or safe way to clean this stuff up?

Any help would be appreciated as I am not sure what is happening to my free space at the moment.
I would strongly recommend against just deleting things out of your windows folder, thats where most everything is stored to make your phone run. for example, the _manila files are for the Sense interface, if you started just deleting those it would would make your phone very very unhappy.

there are a few programs out there that you can use to clean things up, cleanRAM, SKtool's, Pocket Mechanic and so forth.
