You can not delete some system files
With Total Commander, point on a file and select file properties, it will show you if the file is a "system" file that you can't delete.
well...
well is there a free program that will allow me to delete system files? i used to have a program that would but it wasn't free and the trial expired. i think it was the resco file explorer but i can't remember.
Some "system files" are included in your ROM (Read Only Memory) and can't be deleted by any program.
true, and i understand that. but the resco joint let me delete the songs that were listed as system files before. but i've had to reset my entire phone, because it was having some issues, so now those songs are back and my resco trial peried is way over. so is there any other program that can do it? because i'm 90% sure that i deleted these files before with resco...

If it ends in .cab that goes on your phone, if you are unsure what filetype it is, unzip it, if you see a bunch of files in there than u just unzipped a cab file which is a no-no. So toss the cab file into ur storage card and use _insert file explorer here_ than double click it.

What do you mean you "Deleted" it. As far as i know it's not possible to delete things from the ROM. Is it???
yes i overwrote it using total commander file explorer if you could just post up a copy of your wmplayer.exe file then i could copy it back into the windows folder and then i can access windows media player again lol
Nevermind I found a cab on the internets.
I overwrote too my wmplayer.exe using total commander file explorer.
Could someone send me his wmplayer.exe ?
my e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks a lot
hmmm...errr...i think files on the ROM that have been overwritten can be recoved by just deleting the file...this will undo the overwrite and the original file from the ROM will pop back into place
Yes, you're right.
I just deleted wmplayer.exe with ActiveSync and I rebooted, and wmp came back.
Thanks a lot !

Are you sure it freezes? Mine just takes *ages* to finish that stage.
But yes, delete that folder and you'll be able to rebuild your library from scratch.

Delete the folder (that he said above) via file explorer. You can usually find the folder in the root of your storage card. Works everytime. G/L.
unable to find the hidden folder WMDRM, used the search program on my phone asnd still no luck . do i have to sync my tilt and delete it thru the cpu.
If you are using the standard file explorer, make sure that you have the "show all files" option switched on.
i wish it was that simple
yeah it is. win i pulled up winrar to un rar a file i saw it as a folder but i can't get to it. still haven't sync phone, @ wrk
If it 1 thing its another

after this it updating says it found 2087 files but only adds the file save to the phone not the memory card. doeas this sound familiar to any one
yeah use Total Commander or another "good" file explorer. & remove the "WMDRM" folder... it should be in the root folder of your SD card...
even then, if you have a TON of mp3's you may have to wait 5 minutes while it updates... I've had to reboot when it freezes & its hard to tell when its just taking forever & when its frozen :S
If that STILL doesn't work, try putting your files back on your desktop computer, then put your SD card in your computer, and re-transferring them that way.
Hope that helps
Hello
How can I delete files in the "windows" directory?
Those files that I want to delete are not important or anything so I want to delete them.
I mean those "Album_Sample" pictures and one .3gp video.
In Files Explorer on my Diamond I cant delete them and when I connect my diamond to my PC and I try to do it this way it says that I dont have a permission to do it. Please help me how to do this.
Thanks
Sorry for my english...
Total Commander will let you do it:
http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
Note: you'll have to go to File -> Properties to remove the Read Only and/or System File properties from the files you want to delete before you can delete them.
Also, I find TC easier to use with a full keyboard, and I use My Mobiler to access my system when altering the registry/Windows files:

Good luck!

These files are probably in the ROM, so you can't delete them. You could overwrite them but this doesn't save any space because the originals are always kept.
You need to cook another ROM without them.
As already mentioned, those files are probably in ROM (and thus not something you can delete) BUT in the off-chance they are not, you can do the following to delete trouble-some or "locked" files:
1. Install Resco Explorer
2. Delete the suspect files (they will be moved to "Recycle Bin")
3. Restart your device
4. In Resco Explorer, empty the Recycle Bin
Ta-Da -- files gone.
Again, if they are in ROM, this won't work.

why not learn to cook ur own ROM? at ur own risk of cos... my own ROM gives me a total of 107mb of program memory and total of 123.3mb of storage memory.. plenty of space and so much less lag...
we used to say that lagging and hanging is one of the feature for WM devices.. but that's in the past now.. now i'm only trying to figure out if it is possible to partition it so that i can put more space to program memory from the storage...
Good luck..
Does anyone know how to delete system files out of the \windows folder? there is a bunch of junk in there and I'd like to get rid of a lot of it. I have tried using a program called total commander that you can change the file properties and it just reverts right bak... any help would be great.

Unless these were installed manually then you can't get rid of them as they are in the ROM (Read-Only Memory). The only way you can remove them is to re-flash without the files in the ROM image. Are you sure you don't need them?
rom != storage
the system files in \windows are in the os rom part which is never
something you can overwrite unless you are building a rom
freeing up space in the rom don't add space to storage
it just mean you have a device which don't use all the space
it could in the read only memory
this does not give you more space or speed up your device
unless the program is auto run and take up temp storage
and application memory

Go to Windows,tap menu,tap show all files,scroll until you find the file/s you want to delete. This is very time consuming, but if you have patience and perseverence give it a try.
