Storage memory critically low

This message has been constantly popping up. I have uninstalled all my apps from my device to my storage card since that change has been available. all my pics are on my card, and I keep emails and text at a low number.

What can I safely erase to make more free space??

Re: Storage memory critically low

are you on a stock rom?


some apps you have to install to the phone. its ok but yeah it can give you that error.


soft rest from time to time and make sure you dont have a lot of programs running at the same time. that will give give you that message every time.


pic on the card wont do anything.. i have close to 3gb on my card now and i never get that.

Re: Storage memory critically low

go into opera settings and clear the cache periodically... for some reason this sucks up alot of mem.

Re: Storage memory critically low

As mentioned above, clear your internet browser caches and temp files from Main Storage Memory, and make sure to set your attachments and caches to save to micro SD card. Also, consider installing ClearTemp, it's freeware that you can install to help free up main storage as well as much more.

Check out this thread link for more tips: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=111584

Here's a link for latest version of ClearTemp (v1.3) by Developer Vicott Wong:

Hope this helps,
R

Does cleaning your RAM help keep the memory down, seems every time i clean the RAM it says i have saved this much memory? Why is it that the RAM never gets totally cleaned?

not really.. if youre running a custom rom the clean ram program is slightly crippled, nothing is better than a soft reset... but the 'critically low mem' is about storage mem, not RAM. and the only way to clean that is deleting programs you have installed to the phone.. or by following what RHACY posted.

Re: Storage memory critically low

In the temp and volatile folders I have found loads of subfolders. Is it safe to delete all these subfolders? Or do I need to go into the subfolders and delete the files found in there only?

Thanks for all the help!

You can delete everything in the volatile folder but do not delete the volatile folder itself, nor should you delete the Application Data folder. The same with the Temp, delete everything in there, but not the Temp folder itself, every now and then, you should do this, it is what that program above mentioned does, except you don't need it when you can just do it yourself. The less things installed, the better, especially since we are limited on rom and ram memory.

Re: Storage memory critically low

With ClearTemp set one of the custom folders to Application Data/HTC/HTC Album/Cache. Running "Albums" a lot sucks up storage space.
