Ok, I noticed something strange last night. I wanted to free up some memore in my phone so I deleted some of the pre-installed pictures. They deleted just fine but didn't free up any memory tho.
To try something else I reseted the phone and all the original pictures I've deleted came back. Ok, that itself isn't all that strange since I suppose they're factory installed. (They should've had stopped me from deleting them since it didn't free any memory tho)
Here's the strange part. Right after the reset I had something around 560 k free memory, but as soon as I went to look at the pictures (and let them load as you do the first time you look at them) I lost some memory.
So if you don't actually look at the pre-installed images you get more memory free for other things. And if you do look at them while you're almost out of space you will run out of memory. (The same goes for MMS templates and so on, basically anything with pictures)
This has got to be a bug, right?
[edit] Oh, and my phone is running with R1B008

Yeah, I've noticed something simular and I'd be grateful if someone with knowledge of the firmware could sort this out.
If one look via the "My Pictures" a pic may show as 5k big but if you go through options => memory => pictures and choose the same one to delete it could show as maby 10k big...
And of course it takes up the biggest of the two =(
(Had my phone in for repair since it frooze on me so these numbers may not be accurat but you get the idea)
Now, why is this fenomena happening and is it something that could be fixed in a update ?

I have the same problem as Closey (I know him) and I also got me a T300.
MMS-Template folder is very annoying. When you do a total reset all templates in the folder are deleted, but the folder uses more memory than before. After total reset the MMS-Template folder uses about 139Kb of memory and before (when it is full of templates) it use 80-85Kb.
This is weird! I wrote to SonyEricsson support but they didn't know anything. They said that I should go back to my local dealer and have them take a look at the phone. I have a feeling that my local dealer doesn't knows more than SE support team.
Anyone else having the same problem with T300?

I have a t68i sw R3E (stupid T-Mobile hacked revision) and just from playing around with the picture folder it seems to behave a little like MS Windows does when it creates thumbnail views of pictures in a folder. Notice that after the thumbnails get generated the first time you never have to wait... this tells me it must be caching the small views.

There's something similar with the ringtones (at last the preinstalled polyphonic) on T300.
I deleted
CARMEN but the memory wasn't released.
A message came up that said something like: "Deleted rintone. Released memory: 0 kb. Taken memory: 17 kb." (Don't know exactly wording, because it's german). Then I tried to reinstall
CARMEN again, but it took another 17 kb and didn't took it's old place.
Does anyone know, how to get this memory free or CARMEN back?
Thanks in advance.

been thinking about this. This is what I came up with:
When you delete something (tune,picture,game) pre-installed, the phone won't actually delete it, only make it unavaliable. This because it has to be able to put it back when making a "full restore". Only a thought...

I have to go with mejrum's thought there. Perhaps it's just "packed" away in the ROM somewhere.
