Cleaning up Built-In Storage

I've found a few large extraneous files in the built in storage area and am unable to delete them. They appear to be related to deleted applications. How does one delete these?

Try performing a soft reset, then see if you can delete them.

Also make sure that they are not Read Only files. If they are, then un-check the Read Only box under Properties.

Buy SKTools. It seems to do a good job finding and cleaning orphaned files.
