Accessories The curious case of the vanishing internal phone storage

How can the internal phone storage lose 5mb in 1 day when I havnt installed any new apps or added any new contacts etc?

All I have done in the last 24 hours is send a few texts and browse the internet on my handset, so I asumed it must be internet cache/history/cookies etc, so I deleted/cleared all these.. guess what .. still the 5mb is missing. :confused:

Any ideas where this could have gone and how to get it back again?

Cheers
 
Have just had a look at mine still have 47MB disk space this as remained constant for quite a few days. I do send and receive loads of texts have not deleted them from the phone also do not surf the internet that much but 47MB is still displayed
 
You try a reboot? I have found that deleting cache tends to only be recognized in the memory usage after a reboot


No, thanks ... I'll check it again after a reboot

EDIT: Just done a reboot, and Ive actually gained 22mb!!! note: this was the first time ive cleared the internet history/cache/cookies since Ive had the phone (10 days)

Nice one
