If you have more than one card inserted, tap the list box and then the storage card whose information you want to view.

Free up program memory

1. Stop programs you are not currently using.
2. Move e-mail attachments to a storage card.
3. Move files to a storage card.
4. Delete unnecessary files.
5. Delete large files.
6. In Internet Explorer Mobile, delete temporary Internet files and clear history information. Remove programs you no longer use.
