Hi, I would like to delete some Files integrated in the ROM. I'm using total commander and Resco Explorer but it does not work at all, how should I proceed with it to get those files away...?
The Files belong to FlashPlayer 2.1
Thx in advance
You'd be better opening up the nbh (if you can) and deleting the files before you install the rom, otherwise the files may be in use on your device and you won't be able to delete them

I've thought about this but it means that i should flash and configure the phone again, and i would like to stop flashing my phone. The files to delete are not even in use, but in someway I'm not able to delete them..!!
Thx for the tip..!!

How do you unlock the ROM so that you can either delete, rename, or replace system files in the Windows directory???
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is using the patched v3 WM5 ROM BTW!
Also, when I do a ROM-to-SD dump using the d2s command, how do I get it so that the changed files in the ROM Windows directory are also copy as if they were part of the original ROM?
Unlock
You can easily do it with Resco Explore
Really? Lol, I feel stupid!
Thanks!
Now how can I get files that have been changed to remain during an SD ROM dump?
It isn't possible to delete Files with Resco Explorer in Windows Directory.
It writes: File is in ROM Memory, you can't delete this file.
Is there a workaround?
yes there is, dump the rom, modify the files repack and reflash
Hello,
I was trying to upgrade extended rom, after updateing new os.
And...
I copy proper files to some folder by Active Sync, and then go by Total Commander do \extended_rom, delete all files from it and copy from other folder. Then I see monit, that files are there and if I want to override them...
I say yes.
And after hard reset nothing happen - no files are installed. And in \extended_rom I see no files, but when I try to copy them - the same situation.
Please, tell me what to do ?
I'm running short of storage space on my Diamond, and while browsing around in File Explorer I noticed that there are copies of all the HTC demo media (album samples, mp3 files) in the Windows folder - there's easily 2-3mb worth and I could do with deleting them. However it won't let me, is there a way to get rid of them?
Kind regards
Dave
maybe this help

Thanks, that was helpful - but although they talk about deleting files from the Windows folder in the thread, it doesn't exactly detail how :-(
Kind regards

most files in the win dir are not in storage but in the rom itself
and can only be deleted by cooking ones own rom
also rom space not used is not merged with storage
so i would not really help you
if you want more space
You can do it by replacing them with some 0 KB files that have the exact same file names and extensions. I just posted this thread for 46 useless files in the Windows directory that will free up more than 10 MB. If there are any other files that you want to delete, just create a new text file, rename it to the file that you want to delete, then copy it to the Windows directory to overwrite the original file. Always backup the original ones in your computer just in case you want to restore them.
I was also thinking about this, but didnt test it yet . Very helpful.

That's good to know, thanks.
If, as I understand from reading earlier posts, the files are indeed in the ROM and they don't actually take up storage space then I might as well leave them where they are.
Thanks!

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.
