Default Memory Help Needed!

Please Login to Remove!

I have just 388850 bytes free and 60948480 used. Not sure what I did to take up so much memory. I've used Google maps alot, and have just a few messages saved and a very small address book. Here are my database sizes. Any help freeing memory is appreciated:

I've already followed the FAQ and deleted the sample video, cleared browser cache, etc. Is there any file manager type software that will let me analyze what is taking up so much space?

Have you deleted all of the languages and input languages that you do not need? You can delete them either by running the Setup Wizard on the BB, or through Desktop Manager. You should have a lot more memory.

I have, yes. Is there any file management software that would help me see which files are taking up memory?

This I would say is the only dra back to the Blackberry. If they could find a way of moving msgs to your memory card, life would be great. But until then, I guess we will need to manage the best way we can.

I think some organizations would find storing messages on the memory card a security risk. Then there would have to be IT Policies over what you could and could not move to the memory card.

Those are the largest. They are generally 3rd party stuff.
Ring tones, themes...
Ones that are not on the SD card, that is.
