Guest jvo8 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Good, I'm not the only one asking this question. I posted this question 3 different way and I can never get an answer that worked (Besides for a hard reset). I post this very same question yesterday and the moderator took it off the board. :evil: hmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rizrashdi2 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Wow I never noticed that folder. Thankfully mine only take about 200K of space though. But it'd be nice to delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Yen Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I post this very same question yesterday and the moderator took it off the board. :evil: hmmmm.... Not actually true, believe me. Some funny things have been happening with the forum. Anyways. With the C500 they can easily be deleted with the phone connected to the PC with ActiveSync. It rarely can be done using the phone's file explorer, possibly something to do with the file properties. .. So is it different with the SMT 5600 ?

Guest jvo8 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 It must be different becuase I've tried everything. My only conclusion is either the C500 doesn't have this security issue or if the phone is "unlocked", it then allows you to delete this directory. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peterson65 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 with active sync on my smt5600 i try to delete one of the folders and get "cannot delete file 8001: access is denied make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read only, and that you have permission to copy this file type" i have 68 folders in that directory from old installs of programs that are not even on the phone anymore, there has to be a way to get rid of them because there will be more over use of the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I was able to delete it was do a hard reset. Use the phones option for SMT5600 instead of this forum method. Much easier. Someone on this forum has gotta know how to unlocked the rom security feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TEXMudder Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 We (5600 users) cant delete them since they are system files. With Mobile2003, you can not uncheck a file from being a system file which is why I would guess that the C500 users can delete this type of stuff.

Guest peterson65 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 found out how to remove these, i used a program called No Warez and unlocked the software part of the smt5600 now i can delete these files with active sync the c500 must be software unlocked.

This is the only program, including activesync, that I can use to delete these files. I think they are tmp files that remain just in case you try to reinstall after an expiration. -icky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 AFAIK the tmp files contain the uninstall instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FKL Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I also was looking for the answer to this question, since I have about 18 MEGS of space in my STM 5600 being taken up by files that I have no idea what they are about, sitting inside my Windows folder. The last post in this string said that the files in question were "temp" files, that contain the uninstall instructions. Are we talking about files named something like: MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft Status Message SMS Protocol (Receive Only) If so, what data do they contain?
