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
Dave
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!

Might be a stupid question, but I just want to confirm it before I try it.
I've backed up several backups and they're slowly piling up on my SDcard. Is it possible to manually delete them by connecting it to my PC (via USB) and renaming the folders that I'd like to keep? Renaming them shouldn't cause a problem when restoring would it?

No, it shouldnt. I've renamed several of my nandroids before, adding suffixes to the end of the names to distinguish between different rom backups and they've all restored fine before
just dont put spaces in the folder name, it doesnt work with spaces.
and you dont need the computer. just use astro file manager, locate your backups, and rename the ones you want and delete the rest.
I've managed to brick my Galaxy trying a lag fix. However, I still seem to be able to connect to the phone using ADB. I have been able to 'pull' some files from the system folder onto my c drive so I'm hoping I can get some pictures off it.
Can someone please help me with the standard folder structure on the internal card. I need to know what the picture folder is called.
Cheers,
Matt
Found it after a bit of looking:
/sdcard/dcim/camera
Managed to recovery all my pictures. Will make I back my files before I start messing about with it again.
How/where do I get the apks I want to install on my NC? Can I just copy them from data/app of my htc evo to my pc then onto the sdcard for the NC? For example in my data/app I have a file called com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer-2.apk Do I just copy that onto the sdcard and use adb to install it? Does it need to be renamed or anything like that?
Sorry if this is covered somewhere else but there is no FAQ or sticky that people that are new to the NC can look for info like this. It may be basic info for some people but I just want to make sure i'm doing this correctly.
Yup, I copied a few of my com.whatever.whatever.apk folders from my phone onto my pc then just adb'd them onto my NC.
Getjar.com and slideme market are both sources of apps.
I just pick a group of things I want from the market and back them up to sd with appmonster. Then i just dump them all into dropbox using a file explorer.

Do you know any program that can do this? I've tried WiFi File Explorer PRO and Wifi Transfer but they only let me send files individually, but I need something that would work as if my nexus s was connected via USB. Do you know something like that?

Try ES File Explorer.
I use SwiFTP on the phone combined with Filezilla on computer myself.
Do you use dropbox? If its your computer you're transferring to.. most of the time I use that instead of USB. Unless its a ROM.

ESFile explorer can see shares in your LAN and has multiple select, and root. It will batch your copies as well. I transfer all my music to my phone with ES. Faster than usb.
If you need transfer outside your network then Drop box is your choice.

I've downloaded ES but i don't know how to transfer
Click on the LAN tab and then on your network share.
Then long press on the files you want to transfer and select "copy to"

I don't know how to connect with my pc, faqs on the site are offline
I did it with "WebSharing", very good program. It can mount nexus s like it was usb-plugged
No one is reading the title of the post. The OP wants to transfer FOLDERS with files inside, rather than having to rebuild file structure in the device and upload all files individually. I am looking for the same thing and I've downloaded 5 programs from this post and all of them do exactly the same thing, they upload files but not folders.
Does anyone have a solution that actually does what the OP is asking?

FTP server + client will enable you to drag and drop whole folders and it will rebuild the structure automatically. Just like copying and pasting would do.
