N95 - Where'd all my internal phone memory go?

Hi,

I have a N95 with a 4Gb memory card that I use to keep all my music, photos, videos etc on.

Over the last couple of days the phone has started to complain about "not enough phone memory. delete some data" or words to that effect.

But I can't work out what is eating up all the internal phone memory. If I look at the memory usage screen for the phone memory it reports:

145 MB Memory in use
2844 kB Free Memory
411 B Calendar
30 kB Contacts
0 B Messages
0 B Images
0 B Sound files
0 B Video Clips
0 B Documents
0 B MIDP Apps

So whatever is eating up that 145MB of memory? Do anyone have any ideas?

I have installed various little apps/games to the phone and since deleted them - do I have to do an equivalent of "empty trash" to actually physically remove them from the phone once I've deleted them (if that makes sense).

I do hope that someone can help, as I just can't work out what's going on.

Any help or advice would be most gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Matthew

My N73 often does the same thing and then suddenly displays 29mb free memory. It's a bug in the software which simply seems to clear itself after a short time.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

After posting I did wonder if it was the phone's OS that was taking up the memory, but then I was (fairly-ish) sure that I'd seen something like 80MB free at one point!

Hopefully the bug will soon disappear!

Again, many thanks,

Matthew

Re: N95 - Where'd all my internal phone memory go?

Hi again,

This is now getting worse.

The phone now says:

147MB memory in use
0 B free

So now I can't even receive texts!!!

Any other ideas, anyone?

Thank you,

Matthew
