Help Android Browser on HTC Hero

First of all apologies as i know there have been many threads before on this topic but i can't find an answer anywhere...

I'm getting 'Low on Space' message on my HTC Hero. I've tried everything mentioned on all previous threads other than a factory reset. I don't have many Apps on my phone so they aren't taking up much space. However, i have noticed when i go in to Manage Applications, my android browser is showing;

Storage
Total............60.46MB
Application....0.00B
Data.............60.46MB

Cache...........0.00B

Is this normal? How do i clear the data? I've tried opening browser Menu| Settings and clearing cookie data etc.

Please help - i don't want to do a factory reset. :confused:
 
Hi

There is no option to clear data on this page. I only have three options - Clear Cache, Clear Defaults (which is greyed out) and Force Stop.

It is saying i have version 7 of Internet if that helps?
 
What version of Android are you on? 2.2 or 2.1? Have you tried moving some apps to the SD Card?

Do you have a lot of bookmarks too? 60MB seems a lot for the internet browser and I can't think what would be taking up that much data?
 
I'm on 2.1. I don't know how to move Apps to SD card?

I have 26 bookmarks - is that a lot?

The browser was only 20/30MB a couple of weeks ago so not sure what has happened to change that?
 
You can't with 2.1 unfortunately. 26 is fine too, I can't imagine they'd take up a load of space.

Have you visited any intensive websites recently, ones that would be storting/caching that much data (although the clearing data from within the browser would probably delete that).
 
No, i don't do much other than go on Facebook etc.

I deleted some Apps last night and freed up another 10MB of space and when i turned on my phone this morning, Internet data is now 72MB. :mad:
 
I'm not sure what to suggest, there are a number of apps here which look like they'd clean data/cache associated with apps etc. I can't comment on their effectiveness as I've never used any. It might be worth giving something like that a whirl?
