Problems with a free space on C: drive - Nokia N97

Question

Greetings to everyoneMy phone tells me that his C: drive is full and ask me to delete some data from his. Thats nice, but when i accessing C: drive (of phone) via PC suite or file manager on the phone i can't see any huge files on it. But memory description tells me that there is 68 or something like that megabytes of messages on it. I has been setup email client with imap access to the server. Laster on i has found that he store all messages on C: drive and changed to Mass memory, but after i tell phone delete it in old place he didnt done it. The question - Why? and hw to manage it? I didnt found any solution, so i reseted phone totally (

Answer 1

You need to sort this out as low memory causes all sorts of other problems
the situation arises from two factors:
1. The phone comes overloaded with junk installed onto C
2. Because you won't yet know the phone's idiosyncrasies, you will do things to eat up C memory.
the (or at least my solution which has worked for at least three days - good going in n97 land) solution.
1. Fantasise that Nolia will send you meaningful help by email
2. Wake up 
3. Back up your user data (contacts, images, sounds etc) onto a card or off the phone.
4. Hard reset if you're feeling brave and then Reformat E
5. Re-install firmware
6. Reformat E (just to be certain)
7. Practice safe installation by making sure everything stores or saves to E
8. You will need Y-browser from Dr.Jukka  (who I imagine fleeing through the Finnish night pursued by .....), any way: http://tinyurl.com/yuw58e
9. Phone Info app to tell you how much memory
10. Keep checking that messaging hasn't gone back to c again
there are other less radical and probably more sensible routes, I chose this to make sure nothing popped up to respawn problems
