Unable to clear the phone memory.

Hi Nokia...
Could u please help me out of this problem. I bought Lumia 720 3 months ago. I m using an external memory card from the first day i started using it. Inspite that my phone memory is going on filled up day by day. Now only 200 mb space is empty. There is no image, no music files no videos, nothing saved in my phone memory. But then also its only 200mb space is empty. When I first started using it there was approximately 4gb empty space. Could u please help me that how should i clear the phone memory... Thank You
Solved!

Hello,
I too am a Nokia Lumia 720 user. I went to the 'Storage Check' section, and checked the breakup of the memory usage, which showed 808MB temp files stored. I clicked on 'Clear' and now it shows 727MB of temp files stored. I tried clicking on the clear button multiple number of time, but it just doesn't clear those files. It's stuck on 727MB. Kindly help me with this predicament. Thanks a lot.
Not all the files in "Other" storage are unnecessary/unneeded/temporary files. There may be system files, mail attachments, app specific files and if the Clear button cannot clear all of them, that means they are used in some way.
"Other" files are the files which cannot be classified as Music/Video/Photo/Document, but that doesn't mean they are unused files.
If your "Other"  usage increases dramatically, especially after installing a specific app, then it's time to worry. But in normal usage conditions, 1-1.5 GB is OK for "Other" storage 
The silence will fall

  • Unable to clear the invoice/credit in SAP via T-Code F-04

    Hello Guys,
    Unable to clear the invoice/credit in SAP via  T-Code F-04.
    While I proceed to Clear the cutomer open item i am getting below error.
    " The Entry GB XX Is Missing in Table T059Q".
    Kindly suggest what needs to be done to overcome with this message.
    Thanks and regards,
    Hemanth.

    Hi Hemanth,,
    Hope you are using Classic WHT for your company code in country GB.
    And the Classic WHT tcode XX was maintained in customer master data, but the same code would have been deleted from the system. Since these line items to be cleared also, stored that tax code only. So you are getting this erro in F-04.
    So you need to create the above said tax code in OBA7 and then you will be able to clear the customer line items with F-04.

  • HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

    I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes.  I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first.  I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive.  I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc.  I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • HT1222 my iphone 4S no longer plays music output to speaker after updating to version 6.1.3.  I am unable to reset the phone to an earlier version!  How do I get my audio output to speaker back? (music, audible, youtube, netflix))

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

    Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
    Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
    If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
    Note:    You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Turn off the device you want to remove.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
    Note:    If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

    That option is offered for Nokia phones with internal mass storage, like the latest Symbian phones. It does not work with Nokia Series 40, only microSD allowed as storage.
