Recommended Posts

Im sorry it this has been asked before. Im not lazy ive had a good look around but i cant seem to find an answer.

As im running out of space on my M3100 im looking for stuff to delete. I have several things installed which i D/Led and the origional cabs are still on the device. Can i safely delete these or will it uninstall the software or worse. Im thinking they are like installers on a normal PC which can be deleted after the software is installed.

Does anyone know of any other ways to safely free up more space.

Many thanks

Deleting CABs wont remove the software, but you won't be able to easily reinstall it

They tend to be small so wont free up that much space

Put a microsd card the device and move cabs etc to that.

(a 1gb card is about £7 these days)

Ive got a Micro SD so i will move them there.

I didnt know if they were system files or not and would cause a crash.

Ta for your help

.CAB files (CABinet) are just like Windows Installers for your mobile.. You can remove them after installation... In the end its just a .zip based package with an installation.txt in it.
