Windows Phone Thoughts: Cleaning Out the Junk on Your Pocket PC

It's a sad state of affairs when, on our desktop PCs with gigs of storage space, we have a disk cleanup tool to help clean out the junk and restore storage space, but on our Pocket PCs with limited storage, we have nothing. If you access the Web frequently, you'll be shocked at how much of your storage space is taken up. Microsoft didn't even provide a simple slider bar to control the amount of storage space Pocket Internet Explorer takes up. The irony of this never ceases to amaze me: on a device with limited memory, where we need tools for memory management so badly, we have none. :roll: The good news is that Memaid from Dinarsoft comes to the rescue. Here's what it looks like in action:



I've been using this program for several months, and it's a life saver. The operation is pretty simple: it scans the nooks and crannies of your device, looking for wasted space in the form of temp files, cookies, and other files it can safely delete without harming your data. I used it on my X30 after several weeks of heavy 'Net access, and it deleted over 7 MB of cached Web graphics and text! 8O If you're lucky enough to have a supported Pocket PC, it can even limit the size of your Internet Explorer temporary files (this feature didn't work on my X30 unfortunately).
