Main Storage Memory auto-filled 100%

Hello, I wonder if someone can help me? I have a Dell Axim X51v with Windows Mobile 5 that I have had for the past 3 years. I have ActiveSync 4.5. In the past couple of days the main storage memory is automatically being filled to 100%. There is nothing in my sync folders that is causing this (I only have about 3 Mb). When I review the memory status, Program memory total is 49.4 Mb of which 22.9 Mb is in use. Storage memory is 192.6 Mb and 192.6 Mb is in use. I used to have around 7 Mb in my sync folder, but after removing a 4 Mb PDF file, the storage memory automatically filled to 100% again.

Could I have some kind of virus? Can anyone suggest a good utility for examing folder/file sizes so I can see where the memory is being consumed? I do have both an SD card and a CF card where I can load programs rather then the main storage memory.

Regards,
Nethog

Thanks but I found the problem myself. I sync my Axim to my outlook work email and I noticed that the WM5 outlook client was configured to store all attachments in my main storage memory. I used to have it set to a storage card but was suprised to see it reset back to main storage. As soon as I changed this setting, and changed the setting to have my email trash emptied immediately, I gained back 100MB.
