under system settings/ memory it should give you storage memory and program memory (ram). what does that say? also, it will show you large files, you shouldn't have anything on the phone's memory but programs, and all programs settings should be to store to the storage card.

install only critical apps to the phone. 99.9% of you games and add-on apps can be installed to and run from your storage card

I disagree. I install all apps to the phone, just keep games on the phone, and after fresh flash, I have about 165mb of free memory.

also, OP, search for cleartemp and run that on your phone and it could free up quite a bit of room.

how many ringtones do you have???

ok, create a folder on your storage card called My Documents, then under My Documents create a folder called My Ringtones
Move all your ringtones from the My Documents/My Ringtones to Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones.
Do all this using the built in file explorer.
Your phone will still be able to see them, though you might have to set them again under sounds.

Holy wow... do you have an SD card? IDK what you've got on your phone, but that's insane to only have 6MB left... Move stuff to the SD card. Pics, music, documents, CABs, all that can be saved on your SD card. Even texts and emails can be set to save to the SD card.

Id be interested to know what exactly is filling up your phone...

EDIT* Just realized you said you only have ringtones... If that's true, that's a lot of ringtones... lol! What ROM are you using?

text messages and email attachments also eat up memory
