WM6 Storage Memory Issues Brent Cohen 06-19-2007

I have a T-Mobile Wing with a 2GB storage card. Whenever I sync the device I
consistently get an alert on the PDA telling me that "Storage memory is
critically low. If the storage memory is not increased, other programs may
not be able to start. Use File Explorer to delete the files that are no
longer needed or move some files to a storage card."

What application files (if any) can be moved to the storage card? For
instance, can I take the /windows directory and move it ALL over to the
storage card? Any other strategies for dealing with these memory issues???

TIA!

- Brent

1. Try reinstalling all your apps to the card

2. try moving your \My Documents files to the card

Also see my articles, I've wreitten quite a few articles on relocation
issues.

Thanks. I will give that a try. And I will check out your other articles,
too.

OK, so here's a further complication. The only "apps" I have installed on
this new phone is WM6 and whatever junk was pre-loaded by T-Mobile. The only
disc they send out with the phone is ActiveSync.

Is there a way to load WM6 onto the SD itself to free up memory on the
phone? Conversely, since it appears the "problem" is the very large number
of contacts I have (4000+) creates a PIM file that's in excess of 20MB.

Suggestions?

Well, if you still don't have free storage memory, look around in \My
Documents, \Temp, \Windows\Profiles and \Application Data to see how much
data is there. I recommend Total Commander's WinCE FS plug-in or Resco
Explorer to quickly find what takes so much storage memory.
