Re: Removing files in \Windows

you need to use a tool like Resco File Explorer to copy over some of the files in the Windows folder. here's what i did:

1. create backup copies of the files I wanted to remove
2. using notepad i created 0 byte files using the same name as the file i wanted to remove. for example, if there was a file named SprintTV_9.2.4.cab, i created a text file named SprintTV_9.2.4.cab,
3. next, i copied the 0 byte files to internal storage (so i could use them again if necessary)
4. using Resco Explorer i copied the 0 byte files to the windows folder
5. went to Settings->System->Memory to confirm i gained more main memory

i also applied a registry tweak to store my messages on internal storage vs. main storage; that saved about 2 MB of space. i went from 34 MB to 61 MB using this method. i also moved my opera cache to the internal storage card. if you're watching YouTube videos and doing a lot of browsing, the temporary files will be saved to main storage. you'll need to clear that cache from time to time. i also install ALL programs to internal storage... so far, my main memory has not gone below 55 MB
