HTC Wildfire - Memory usage

Anonymous
Not applicable

Could someone please tell me the best course of action for my HTC Wildfire.  I have 6.66MB of space free of internatl storage and 7.39GB total space, 6.84GB available on my SD Card.

Why can i no longer download apps and update apps.  As far as I know that should be plenty of space for what I need.  I currently have only four downloaded apps plus my App Killer.

 

Please advise how I can utilise the masses of space I am told that I have.

 

Thanks!

I have this phone and find that if I let the internal memory drop much below about 17MB I start to have problems.

 

Any apps you download are processed in the phone memory first and then you can move them to SD, the phone won't have it if the memory is too low.

 

I use "App2SD" to move them but as you may have found out, not all apps can be moved, so I try to only use those that can.

 

I don't like App Killer type apps and find them unnecessary.

Get rid of app killer to start with then go into applications and clear cache for all you apps.
