How to delete from /Windows/ ?

[agentmikeyd]

I am trying to save storage memory on my diamond. I want to delete the /Windows/ files Album Sample 01.jpg thru Album Sample 13.jpg which will free up several meg.
tried unsuccessfully with Total Commander...
any one help?
thanks

This means that they're in ROM and cannot be deleted

What you could do is make a image thats very small in data and rename to file names and overwrite with Total Commander.
You can do the same with music thats in ROM too zero length .mp3's

Hope that helps. :)

thats smart solution

thats smart solution
smart but useless, since in this way you don't save anything: overwriting ROM files with smaller ones doesn't reduce disk usage but, vice-versa, increases it (since you'll still have the ROM files AND the new ones) also if only of some bytes

Ah i get you ;) as the files have to still be there for the ROM to be able to rewite the file, know what mean :D

Good idea though :rolleyes:

I don't get you, stylez. "Overwriting" ROM files is only a verbal expression, since you don't really overwrite anything. When you copy to \windows a file that has the same name of a ROM file, simply the system reads the one on disk instead of the ROM one, that (simply for being in ROM) is still there and cannot be changed/edited/deleted.

So, if you "overwrite", for example, the abc.bmp ROM file with a 0 byte abc.bmp, the original one is still in ROM but the system don't read it anymore: instad it reads the 0 byte abc.bmp. And being a 0 byte file, you don't waste disk space, but as the same time you don't gain new space: you can try and see the free space before and after an overwrite with a 0 byte file

You misread me as i agreed with you :D "not in the right terminology"
Thanks for expanation :)

Sorry for a quick idea that doesn't work and if had of thought about it logically would have known ;) "spending too many hours editing .dll & .cprs"
