I have bought a 128 MB memory stick and I am trying to place all application on the external memory stick, but I am still experiencing that the internal memory are being used and I am now down to approx. 4,5 MB on the internal memory.

How do I do a “spring cleaning” of my internal memory to avoid having my phone stall or crash on me? Some people has been suggesting a full format of the internal memory but that sounds to scary for my taste: I don’t know if I will get the phone to work again and there is no service centre in this country as far as I know (Bosnia and Herzegovina) so that would be a disaster. Others have mentioned a master reset and I am also a bit sceptic to this alternative since I expect that a lot of the data in the phone will be lost, addressbook, calendar, e-mail- and internet accounts as so fort.

Has anyone tried to clean up their memory successfully and could pass on the best instruction for going about doing this? I would be much obliged.

4.5 megs is more than enough to avoid a crash. I make sure it stays above 1.5 megs of free space, and I'm totally fine.

@Halvard

I had a similar situation to yours. First I ensured I had copied all the data files (eg Hady Base and Handy Safe) to the memory stick (in addition to a back-up). Then I uninstalled the apps from internal memory and then I installed them again on the memory stick. Then I had to move a few data files around (depends on the apps). You can try the same. However, I am assuming you have access to a PC/laptop - is this the case?

Remember the back-up files can be accessed using winzip.
