Save some Storage Memory!!
 
Not sure if this has ever been mentioned or posted, but i just found that if you

1. Completely remove the "Touch Mobile Guide" folder, (which I personally have never used) from your windows directory.

2. Move the "RINGS" folder to your internal storage, yes you will still be able to use them for your ringtones as long as you move them to the internal storage directory and not inside another folder in the internal storage.

*Note* You will need a program like Resco explorer or Touch commander to accomplish this but these steps should save you almost 20MB of space.

Hope someone out there can use this!!

You can't move files that were cooked into the ROM. If you've added ringtones or they are installed during customization after the flash, then you can move those for sure.

Another way to save space it so use a program to compress some of your .exe's on the phone using Squeezer. It does not work for all apps, but I've had good luck with most (again, not ones that are cooked in...only cab's that I've installed). As an example, Garmin's Que.exe is ~5mb uncompressed and ~2mb compressed and it works fine while saving me 3 mb of storage.

Yep, thats one of the first things suggested to do. Also use a reg edit or sktools and move your message store to the storage card (this is all your text, picmail, and email not just your attachments.... saves tons) Additionally point your browser cache to the storage card as well as your temp folder.

I am using resco explorer 2008 with the sprint OEM ROM and I am able to move the two folders i mentioned earlier just fine...

In my device/my documents/UAContents/MMS Log & MMS UA I have about 6-7Mb's being used. Its a bunch of .log & .dat files. Can this be deleted or moved to my storage card? Is there a reg edit for this? Is this stuff from Arcsoft I have installed? Also in my device/my documents there is a file not in a folder called WM_9ACF.tmp. I searched it and googled it but found nothing. Its 2.61MB's. Anyone know what it is or if I can toss it?

This should help a lot of people out, looks like Juicy already incorporated the changes in Juicy 8.

You're right. Maybe it's just the OS and program files that are cooked into the ROM that can't be moved. I've always thought Read Only Memory meant it could only be read :). One more thing to remember if you move your rings to internal storage and connect to a computer as a disk drive, your phone won't ring while connected since the phone will not be able to access the internal storage (or so I've read anyway).

I have in my windows folder a Googlemaps_3.0.1.5.cab that I cannot remove even with Total Commander. It takes up 1.9M & I already have cab on storage card.
