Storage memory is critically low

Courtney1985, if you make sure to install all the programs that you can to Internal Storage, it will really help save some of the Diamond's precious Main Storage space. Also, if you install Bing, make sure to install it Internal Storage, and make sure to go into it's main settings area, and set it to cache to Internal Storage. This will save you a lot of Main Storage in the long run. Plus, if you can stand using Bing instead of Google Maps for the most part, it will even save you more space, as Google Maps will load up it's Application Data\Google Maps and Cache. Please note that Google Maps v4 is out now, and if you install it to your Internal Storage, it will finally store it's Application Data to Internal Storage (Storage Card for other WM PPCs). Also, if you take a good look at all your Main Storage Folders, like My Documents etc., you will be able to see which folders are eating up your Main Storage and move the space hogs to Internal Storage as well. One point I should clarify is that HTC Manila TF3D and Sense always load up your Main Storage Application Data sub-folders. In turn, using ClearTemp or other software to clean the specific sub-folders after soft reset or after using HTC Album etc., will help keep your Main Storage space under control. To clarify further, I load around 100 extra programs and games on my Diamonds, run OMJ's WM.6.5.x Sense 2.5 ROM's, and am able to manage my Main Storage to the point where it never has become critically low. That said, the Diamond's limited Main Storage was not meant for the latest WM builds and Sense 2.5, so it's important to understand and manage the limited space, in order to enjoy the cutting edge of WM and HTC's latest GUI.

On a related note, no sure which file explorer everyone likes to use with the Diamond, but I've always had good luck with Resco File Explorer (payware) and Total Commander (freeware). I usually install TC to Main Storage, if it's not included in the custom ROM, and Resco to Internal Storage. That way, if something goes bad, I can at least access TC and fix the issue.

Here's a link to Total Commander 2.51 or 2.5.2 beta 2:

One more thing I highly recommend is a back up program like SPB. It has saved me many times when loading extra programs etc. on WM phones, and not liking the results or not being able to move or get rid of some files the new software installed to Main Storage. It's priceless to be able to restore your system to a good working state with all your Main Storage space back without flashing again. Plus you can back up your Internal Storage just by making a Internal Storage folder on your PC, then select all of Internal Storage in disk mode, and then copying it the new PC folder you made. Just remember to make sure your have both your PC and PPC set to show all files. Anyway, with both Main Storage and Internal Storage backed up, you always have a way to put the system back to a good working state if anything happens during tweaking or use.

Oh yeah, one last thing, if you have the time, and flash new ROM images often, consider using SASHIMI to load all your CAB files and settings. It's a real time saver once you get passed the leaning curve. Please note that the Sashimi Developer does not want his software download posted at other sites, so you will need to do a search here at ppckgeeks for more information, as well as via Google to download the software and lean how to set it up.

Yikes, did not mean to type ramble, but hope it helps...
Best to all,
