Interesting, I'd often wondered if clearing stuff out of storage memory increased available RAM for the phone to use.

I think miami's right. Having no idea about whether what horn said was true, I tried a little experiment. I enabled that option in SKtools and it did in fact bring up a few of those unregistered programs like Opera9.

But, guess what happens when I use the "uninstall" option on in SKTools? It only APPEARS to work. It removes opera9 from the list, it claims it freed up about 7.5 MB. But when I go back to the windows folder... there's Opera9.exe still, taking up 7.5 MB of space.

Beyond that, when I delete it using total commander, it thinks for a second then says "could not delete 1 item".

I soft reset just to make sure that the file maybe wasn't erroneously being listed in TC even after deletion (maybe it wasn't letting me delete because I already had deleted it?). But after reset, when I got back to my windows folder, it's still there. And it still can't be deleted (though the entry for opera9 is now missing from SKtools uninstall).

I hate to say it horndoctor, but I suspect some of those programs you cleaned up with sktools weren't really uninstalled, sktools just thinks they are.
