Wow, talk about a memory boost! I was just browsing through my file system and noticed a file from an app I uninstalled. I checked the details on it and found it was 90mb. I double checked to be sure I had uninstalled the app, found that I had, then deleted the folder.
Then I continued browsing and found more orphaned files. I then ran clean sweep and cleared another 187 mb. All the files clean sweep found were backup files and were broken. I'm not real confident in clean sweep finding orphaned files. Still though, 277mb is no joke.
Thing is, as I've said before, I'm app happy. I have unlimited data, 5gb full speed, so if an app interests me I download it and then if its not just what I want I'll uninstall it. I've probably installed then almost immediately uninstalled over 50 apps since I got my phone two weeks ago.
I know, just as with a PC, sometimes files are left behind (orphaned) after an app is uninstalled. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good app for finding and removing orphaned files? Its got to be free since I'm not currently able to make an online payment.
