What can i safely delete to get more space?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have an IPAQ with 64 MB memory. My Windows folder is about 54 MB!

If i use Citadel's file explorer there are are reams and reams of files in
the windows folder all with very similar names which do not appear if you
use WM built in file explorer at all.

For example, i have a bunch of files starting msce.dll, mxip (about 20 of
those) RD***** then a list of numbers .dll's. and in the messenging folder a
whole list of .mpb files.

None of them are associated to anything. What can i delete?

Also, i have when i activesync databases for programs that i no longer have
so i know that i can delete those. But activesync won;t let me and i cannot
find the files using citadel file explorer or the built in one.

Any advice please - my system is really running slowly now.......and i don't
want to delete something i shouldn't (and yes i have have made a backup!
:-) )

Neal, Rob pretty much covered the system files; most of them
are in ROM anyway so you can't delete them if you try. If you
have everything backed up, a hard reset will get you back to
NIB condition (filewise) and you can start loading it up again.
(That means loading EVERYTHING that you've added;
programs and all. A hard reset puts it back in factory condx.

As for the slow part, have you gone into the memory applet
and killed running programs? One of the endearing things
about WinCE is that most programs don't end just because
you click the X button. Go to Start / System / Memory /
Running Programs and stop all the stuff that's sitting there
using up clock cycles. Might help.
