N95 C drive filling up

[Moz]

RJM, without going round in circles any more on this, did you ever format the phone ?

No, I was hoping to find a fix without having to blow everything away and start from scratch.

It's going to be pretty difficult if the phone it's self isn't showing you where the data is hidden. No one here can really tell you either, it will be your quickest and easiest solution mate.

try this: go into your inbox then sort it by TYPE. scroll up to the bottom of the list and it will have all the messages with attachments there, delete the ones you can deal with loosing. i had this problem with mine and it freed up 67 mb. hope it helps

I looked in my inbox and I only have text messages in there, and there are only about 30 in the inbox and 13 in the sent.

ok, have you checked the attachments folder on your c drive? i found that even if i deleted the messages from my inbox some of the bluetooth attachments were still on my c drive. ill have a gander at mine and get back with better info for you

Ok so here's a little more info that I stumbled on. I installed X-plore in hopes that it could help finding what is taking up the space. It is showing me that I have 3.1MB free out of 147MB but if I look at the details of C: it shows that the total size is 18.1MB. I went into the configuration settings and showed all Hidden/System files and folders and all ROM/RAM drives, but yet the numbers still don't add up and I can't see what is taking up all the space. Is there some way to really see all of the files/folders?

You will need to hack your phone to do that. Symbian-freak has a good guide on what you have to do.

Folders like "SYS" will still be hidden to you with an unhacked phone.

Ok I think I found it. There is a file in the c:\private\100012a5 folder that is named dbs_10281f95_feedsdatabase.db which is 76.15mb. WTF?? What is this file and why is it so big and how can I trim it down???

"_feedsdatabase.db"

Have you been saving any audio or video streams ???
