I'm overly obsessive about making sure i have as much 'program' memory as possible on my axim. Already installed almost all of my apps (save pocketplus, pocket informant, and agile messenger) to my SD card, and i run pocket mechanic after every browsing session. Today though i found something new. Hundreds of KB of useless help files in /Windows!!!

Just go into /windows and sort by size. You can pretty much delete every single html file in there if you already know how to use the app.

I havent done it yet, but there are also a lot of images in .2bp format that are the 'help' images for your applications. For instance, resco audio recorder has about 170KB of 'help' images.

Maybe straight up deleting these files is possibly a bad idea (worst thing that can happen is have to restore :) ), so probably its a better idea to replace them with 0kb files w/ the same names.

I've got it down to just 13MB of storage ram being used on the axim.

Hope that helps out all others that are as obsessed w/ freeing space as me.
