Free up Space... Only 60MB left

To the original author: Now that z4root (on Appbrain or the Markplace even I believe) works fine with the Optimus S, no reason not to root the phone (it's literally one button press).

After that, install the free app Titanium Backup, then in that app, long press on the app's name you want to move, and it will (almost always) give the option to move to SD. Did this for several otherwise unmoveable games without any issues at all. Best of luck.

OMG, that was an awesome tip, I was using Titanium to backup stuff, but didn't know if it can be used to move apps. Thank you. Now I own an additional 15MB of precious space.
 
My phone has been teetering on the low storage level around 16mb. I would occasionally get that symbol telling me it is low. I am not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I discovered a way to free up internal memory on our phones. A couple ways. When you delete an email it doesn't really get deleted. It goes into that accounts trash folder and builds up forever until you manually one by one check mark it then delete it. If you click on the folder icon of that account you will see trash with the number of emails in it. Well I have a total of about 700 emails in trash folders amoungst 3 accounts. I deleted them all manualy and freed up 20mb of internal storage on my phone. I went from 16mb to 36mb just in deleting these emails.

Hopefully in future android updates there will be a way to COMPLETELY delete these emails and keep them from eating up our memory.

Another way to free up memory is to delete all your text message threads. I didn't delete my threads for a long time then my phone started blocking incomming texts due to low memory. I deleted my threads and cleared up another 8mb of memory!

Try doing these things and free up space on your phone for faster performance or more app space!
 
Haven't installed a lot of apps but my phone only has about 60MB left on main memory. I have transferred the apps to SD card that were available for transfer, but still a lot of them are on the main memory, should I uninstall them ?, Root it and use some app transfer program ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ONLY 60mb left? That is a lot. I wish I had that much. Don't have to worry until you get around 15 left. Then your phone will yell at you saying to get rid of stuff.
