I'm running out of main memory!!!!

Hello everyone,
I have only 7 MB left from my main memory and although I installed all programs into my internal storage, the main memory keeps shrinking each time.
what should I do to expand my main memory or what files should I remove?
Thanks

You may store too much data on your main memory. move all your photos, musics to internal storgae

If you do a lot of browsing dont forget to clear the cached files.

emails?
Are you synchronizing email? Because, even if you configure the attachments to be stored in internal memory, the actual body text is still stored in RAM.
Check \Windows\Messaging for data...
If so, you need to fix this in the Registry, check the following thread:

help!
my diamond keeps popping up a warning that my storage memory is low. When i look at memory it shows storage total 92.05 MB in use 90.22 MB free 1.84 MB Program total 203.84 MB in use 84.15 MB free 119.69 MB.
What gives? What is eating up that storage total? I only have a few apps installed (Registry Edit, Dashwire, Advanced Config, google maps, wmwifirouter, app to date, diamond tf3d config and .net 3.5.) This is on a Sprint Diamond.

do you downloud video from youtube player ?
they say that youtube player have somesort of bug that stores all caches (video) on window folder and you cant delete it or find it
someone correct me if im wrong !

bro im having EXACT same prom with the same programs loaded...its almost unuseable at ths point wtf i cannot find these memory hogs and ive searched almost entire windows directory too

A great little app. I found is "Memory Monger" (do a search for the thread with a download). It graphically shows what's in your memory (internal or main). I used it to see which were the big files and moved them to internal storage and made shortcuts in their original folders.

hey thanks! i will try it.

too late? maybe, but here goes. I found the solution to MY problem with low "storage memory". I had to first do a soft reset because I didn't even have enough free to launch Opera (only .02MB free!). Once i soft reset, i could launch Opera and proceed to clear cache, cookies, and history. after that, it freed up 23MB!! I'm back in business now. Hope this helps someone else besides me!

Memory Full where are the files filling it up?

I just redid my Tilt Phone and put a bunch of software on it. Carefully watching my Device space i ended up with about 40 mb of programs on it out of the 125mb available.
Everything ran fine for a few days now all of a sudden.
Memory full to the rim. when i open up the File Browser in Windows Mobile Device Center it shows my device as maxed out in all RED with only a couple mb available.
If i open the device drive and select all of the files on my device and hit properties it only shows that my device has about 32mb of data on it yet its saying its completely full when i look at the actual drive.
How can this be happening and where is all this garbage that is filling up my phone?
Why can i not see the info on the card if its taking up space?

if you use PIE clear your cache and delete the files.open PIE>menu>tools>options>memory
Clear
Delete
instant memory..

There is a program called Oxios memory that is supposd to help clear up some memory and help out with the performace. I have been looking for the zip or cab file but havnet had any luck yet. Ill let you know if i find anything, unless someone else already has the file that they can post.

Okay maybe I had a brain fart for a minute and didnt think about just searching for it in google. But this is the link for it, this might just be what you are looking for.

Tilt memory is full?

So the main directory on my phone has a total of 124 mb of space but my phone says i only have about 8 mb of space left. I connected my tilt to my pc and opened my tilts root directory and checked the size of all the files in it and only got about 32 mb of data. So what am I missing? If my phone can hold 124 mb and im using 32 mb y does it say I only have 8 mb of space left? Also i keep all of my apps and progs along with all my pics, music, .cab files and all other stuff on my 4 GB sd card. Can anyone give me an idea whats going on?

Do you have a bazillion text messages saved on it?

still not enough space.
soooo... yeah i did have a **** ton of txt measages, but i stil have about 60mb of missing space anyone have any other thoughts?

And it's not a cache used by the OS?

Have subtracted the space taken up by your rom ?
Try these.

all good now.
thanks a ton man that clear temp app did the trick. now i have plenty of free space

i have a similar problem. I have deleted everything i can think of, but the more stuff i delete, the less space i appear to have. I have removed all the programs i could as well, but now it says i have less that 856K storage memory. I had over 5MB full earlier today, but as i was deleting stuff, and removing programs, my free space kept going down. Is windows making copies and storing these items somewhere?
I tried downloading both of the cabs above but it told me a message about an invalid header, so i was unable to try them.
When i look in my "windows" folder, under "My Device" i see a lot of the old programs that i supposedly deleted. I am unable to delete them from that view though. I cant even restore from my Sprite Backup because there is not enough space to restore. I reinstalled my PHM Registry Editor but i am not very familiar with it. Is there a way to delete unneeded things from there?
I dont have a ton of texts messages, but i do have quite a few image messages. I was in the process of sending them to my email, and deleting them when i ran out of space to even be able to open them.
Any suggestions? BTW, i have Windows Mobile 6.0

Last time I ran out of memory it was due to a voice recorder running until there was no room left.
I also had an issue with memory on SD card.
Stylez posted me this handy cab - will let you see what is where
There is also the 'find large files' under the memory tab for a starting point.
Good luck

I will give it a try, if it lets me even install it. Last two Cabs it wouldnt allow me to install because of space. I took out the 1 gig SD card i have in the slot, and checked under the memory tab with the "find large files" and only came back with like 4 files, all around 200-300k.
UPDATE: Wouldnt even allow me to install cab file

Can you remove some other programs you have installed to make space? You can always put them back on once you've solved the problem....
Emptying your deleted items might help too...
Drag your pictures and videos over to your pc via activesync....
Did you run Cleartemp? Clearing cache etc ?
If it was me I'd be backing up what I need and doing a hard reset - When the phone gets laggy and clogged up it's the sure fire way to get things running smoothly again...... It would be a must for me!

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to clear up a decent amount of space by deleting a punch of MMS messages i had. I had been in the process of sending them over to my email because i was at work and couldnt try synching the phone and moving them. I didnt noticed in the settings that it was creating a copy in the "sent" folder, as well as keeping it in the "delete" area. After clearing that up, i saved a bunch of space.
I am still noticing in the Windows folder of My Device that there are a lot of older programs taking up a bunch of space. These are all programs that i deleted or removed at some point. Not sure why they are hanging around.
I have tried using the two cab files posted by denco7, but i am unable to install them. Just tells me they are unsuccessful. Are they specific to a certain version of Windows Mobile? Is there any message logging that would tell me why they failed?

Try doing a soft reset to kill all processes before installing.

Main Memory Low

I save all my programs and install them on the internal drive. I am still getting a low memory warning. Are there any specific places I need to look , i.e Windows folder, etc.., where I can remove useless files? I'm afraid to delete some important things.
I have an Alltel Touch Diamond. Thanks in advance.

Low memory warning is not about the storage where you save your stuff & apps. Its the RAM of the diamond. To solve the issue you'll probably have to install another ROM with lower mem usage or close TF3D before running your heavy apps.

HI THERE
the program pocket mechanic solve me a lot of that issue .
after installing the prog. i removed some what of files to the intenal storage .
it did work for me just great /

windows folder/directory
open windows directory. goto Opera folder. goto images folder. any files that aren't jpg or png (meaning files that will have an opera logo in front of them) are deletable. If you use opera a lot and have never done this, there may be many. Also Windows/Messaging. this stores info from all emails, even when you delete, info is left here- delete all old stuff. If you feel iffy about trying any of this, create a folder in your internal storage to cut these files into, and if you have any trouble or do something wrong, you can cut/copy them right bsck (but these sre things i do to keep memory clear). Also, ClearTemp is an AWESOME HELPFUL program (and free). I think v1.21 is the latest, but after 3rd day of using it, it had recovered about 10mb of storage memory. (set it up properly, din't just hit 'clean'). good luck.
Lastly, some early diamonds (roms) had a known issue with unrecoverable storage memory, so last case scenario, update to newest official rom.

au contraire. memory on diamond is partitioned 3ways (storage memory, program memory, internal storage)
when you get a 'main memory low' msg, it's usually because your storage memory (not RAM), and not program memory, has dropped to <1mb. not your operating memory or program memory.

I dealt with this on my first diamond. Had to return it - it is an issue on early diamonds, known by htc (storage not erasing things it should, regardless of user settings). A search will turn up a handful of other threds on this topic.

Thanks for all the replies.. here are screens of what I'm talking about.
As you can see I have a ton of storage on the Internal but 1Mb left on Device... If you still agree that I should follow the advice above I will do that. Just wanted to clarify what I was talking about.

thank you scottspa74
I have exactly the same problem with storage memory and what scottspa74 proposed just gave me the solution to my problem .
Thank you very much

Well, I also found that if you have taken a lot of pictures and video with the phone it takes up a ton of device storage. Try deleting big video files or transferring them somewhere else.

try backing up your contacts and flash another rom

it took me a while to get down to the cause of ths nd i found it by pure coincidence. i use cleanram as well. look for two cache folders. 1 for htc album in application data/htc/htc album nd the other is opera mobile which should b in windows/opera/profile. delete their contents nd u should b better. i assigned both folder as custom folders in cleanram. also note tht even if u install stuff on mem card some small files still go to ur main mem but thy shouldnt make that of a diff.
cheers

I suggest using an app like sktools that will allow you to move some of your apps and folders from device memory to internal storage. You could also uninstall some apps and re-install those apps to internal storage.

Dont know if this helps, but inshure to delete your internet files from IE -- while on tha browser click, menu / tools / options / memory / delete files.. on my htc touch it would empty tons of MBs, Near 100MBs at times after afew days of use...
my diamond does not hold anything it apears? i have never seen anything in my history.. I totally feel ripped off with 90MBs And like 30 free out of tha Box! Not one spec listed online shows this...
4real where is tha 192 MB RAM / 256 MB ROM ???
My 6800 & touch blow this out tha water..!
Big big let down "i bought two allso" lol
Paid $149 each Brand New from bell canada No term contract
so its all good, but still

I found cab files for Sprint TV & GPS. Then I deleted them from main memory and reinstalled them into internal memory.
