Default Giant growing MS Protocol files eating my memory

Guys,

My available memory has been diminishing slowly but surely over the past couple of weeks(since ROM upgrade perhaps but can't be sure).

I notice a set of files in the \windows directory named:

MsgQueueDatafileMicrosoft WDP SMS Protocol
MsgQueueDatafileMicrosoft WCMP SMS Protocol
MsgQueueDatafileMicrosoft Text SMS Protocol

etc etc

these are currently all 2,850,820 bytes & I'm sure they were around 1.9Mb last time I checked.

Can anybody shed any light on this - can I delete them?

Thanks

M1

these are dummy files in use by the operating system, Windows incorrectly reports their size so you should not worry about that.

You will find that usually most space taken up is usually temp files and internet explorer cache. Runnin Pocket mechenic every once in a while allows you to clean up. Also, putting cleartemp.exe in \windows\startup makes sure that your \temp directory is emptied at every soft reset.
