I've spent the past hour googling this issue, but I cannot seem to find an answer. So I tried installing this dictionary-thesaurus app on my phone. About half way through the program's installer it tells me my phone has no more room left. It never asked me for a location to install it ... so anyway, now my "Device Storage" is at 100% with 8.18MB. How in the world do I clear this ? I have absolutely no text messages, IE cache or anything. I've been trying to find the temp files with the file explorer, but the folder is empty. Btw how do I do a hard reset ? All the guides say "hold blue key and power for a few seconds". But that just shuts off my phone. And if it's off, it asks me if I want to do a hard reset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That will hard reset your phone. -------------------- Devices: Palm Treo 700w, Samsung i600, Motorola MPx200 Accessories: Jabra JX10, 1GB PQI SD, Leadtek 9537 BT GPS

What I meant instead of "hard reset" was "soft reset" ... This post has been edited by NSD: Apr 22 2006, 02:45 PM

When you say your Device Storage is 100%, do you mean 100% full or 100% available? -------------------- Devices: Palm Treo 700w, Samsung i600, Motorola MPx200 Accessories: Jabra JX10, 1GB PQI SD, Leadtek 9537 BT GPS

Honestly, that's what I would, and have, done in that situation. -------------------- Devices: Palm Treo 700w, Samsung i600, Motorola MPx200 Accessories: Jabra JX10, 1GB PQI SD, Leadtek 9537 BT GPS

You can create a backup of the phone when it's working, then if you have to hard reset you can restore from the backup without having to set it all up again. -------------------- Devices: Palm Treo 700w, Samsung i600, Motorola MPx200 Accessories: Jabra JX10, 1GB PQI SD, Leadtek 9537 BT GPS

Try to find the install folder in storage/windows/appmgr. It contains all cab files send to phone via exe instalation files. I assume the cab file for dictionary is pretty big, and also the installation, so it corrupted the whole storage memory, and you couldn't do anything. I see I'm a bit late to help you, but hope I helped you for the future problems like this.
