Connect via activesync enable hidden folders - delete items in recycled on internal storage and device - pocket mechanic is a nice pick up as well.... I have many programs installed on both the device and internal, rollin with 78MB of free storage.... Hope this helps.

I tried to copy and/or move the touch mobile guide to my internal storage so I could then delete it from storage memory but it seems to be "read only" and can not be moved or copied using activesync. I then tried copy and pasting it using file explorer and it seemed to work but really didn't. Not only didn't it work but now I can't access the touch mobile guide at all. How did you move it? How did you delete it? I'm probably going to have to do a restore from this mornings spb backup. I'M NOT HAPPY!

Leave the folder and delete everything that is inside it. Also don't use Activesync to delete the files use 'FileExplorer' on the device and make sure you select the option to 'Show All Files' under the Menu option.

I don't know. I tried everything I could. I really don't see any difference when I use 'show all files', and I really do want to be able to dispaly the touch mobile guide, I just wanted to put it on internal storage. I made a copy and I couldn't display anything from the internal storage copy, I browsed into the mobile guide folder and clicked on index and it brought up opera and got an error opera:illegal-url-0. I restored system files from my morning spb backup and now it works again....whew....

Really would like more storage memory, guess I'll try your opera cache suggestion next, but that's just 4M based on the default cache value so not reclaiming a lot. What is all this s..t on storage? Seems really stupid!! ](*,)

well the device comes with only 90 MB when you first turn it one and out of that 90, 45 or so is already used by the system. So not sure how much more you are going to get. You are not goint get all 90 back. My Touch had more memory than this but it's a trade off for TF3D and the phone itself of course.

I deleted the Touch Guide files, which nicely freed up about 10MB. Problem is that they seem to have reinstalled themselves the next time I ran Activesync. There are hundreds of these damn guide files---all named by their section numbers--in the Windows folder now, and I can't delete. ](*,)

Any way to get rid of these bloody files for good?

That's when I realized that I was using the storage memory to store my email attachments through an exchange mail server. Once I selected the internal storage card to store the email attachments, I recovered about 37mb of storage. Hope this helps someone else with storage memory problems.

thank you so much for this. i didn't even realize i was saving attachments, much less to main memory. as soon as i made the change i went from 9mb free to 25mb!!!

Is it safe to delete the cab files in the Windows folder or will I be screwed in the event that I need to do a hard reset? In other words, will a hard reset restore those cabs from ROM?

The change of Opera cache does free up 4mb, now the problem is how we can get rid of those pre-installed junkies while mainting the overall good-looking Sprint interface.

To me, SprintNav is useless, since I use igo for GPS. And other junkies should be installed in internal storage. The question is if we have a way to uninstall or delete those junkie after sprint customerization. I know we can skip the installation but we lose the interface.

Re: How to clean up memory on the Diamond?
 
my question is which programs can and can not run on the internal storage memory. these are the programs on my main memory:
1. diamond hologram
2. king sol solitaire
3. gyrator 2
4. instant messaging
5. pocketlock
6. rss hub
7. sprinttv
8. tcmp
10. telenav
11. window media player

i am curious which of these programs i can re-install on my internal storage memory and have it still work.
