Hi all,

got weird problem. I want to save my girlfriend pictures from MMS to my SD Card, but my phone says "SD Card almost full. Delete some files for free space". I have 350MB of free space on SD Card, and I don't want to delete more music, when pictures that i want to save r all between 40 and 60 kilobytes... That's little bit confusing...

Any ideas?

Ok... how to do this? I'm into recovery, and i don't see any of these options. Also i'm not rooted
Hi,

Sorry,I thought you were s-off and rooted.
You should really make a signature with your phone information.

I will. But what i have to do now? I don't want to root and lose my warranty :(
I often have this issue on USBcards and internal/external hard disks. I usually use Sequoiaview to see what's actually there, it's a neat graphical representation of space used on disks. Do a google search for it and try it, you might just find that there is some "crap" laying around on the uSD card.

I'm guessing that Android needs the extra space on your card for some system requirements, maybe app cache of some kind. 350mb isn't a lot of space to have spare really.
