> Corrupting Internal Memory in P800
Bookmark topic
I'm starting to get regular 'your P800 is low on storage space' errors - which all good P800ers know, lead to a corrupt internal memory and a reformat. Basically, it corrupted 10 days ago, so I restored from a recent backup - however, I suspect the seed of this problem is still in the backup, so that even if I restore it, it'll again just be a matter of time before it corrupts again...
Also - ISTR someone mentioning Tracker2 (which I have) causing these problems - is this definitely known?
Anyway - I assume there's some file corruption going on which is eating up this free disc space (I do have a lot of apps, but mostly on the 128Mb MemoryStick). Tracker currently reports 400k internal memory free. Does anyone know of a problem that effectively does a 'scandisk' on the internal memory?

BTW - I had a similar problem on the MS too - copying off, reformatting, and copying back on my data took it from 10Mb free to 100Mb free. Not so easy on the Internal disc due to the system files.
BBTW - FW vR2F!

Can't you do a Master Reset and then do a restore.This will delete all the user insatlled apps and keep the system files.
Any way I think 400 K memory in the internal disk is a bit too low, I remember reading in one of the threads that its safe to leave at least one MB of space free on the internal memory. So may be you can try deleting some programmes from the intrenal disk which won't be a problem since you have 100 MB on the MS

Yep, but that involves rebuilding the phone, which was what I was trying to avoid. This is what I did last time, and it was stable for around 9 months after that - which isn't bad, but the whole situation is really on a par with Microsoft!

What about uninstalling one or two programmes from the internal memory which might solve your problem

It's a temporary solution; whichever corrupted file is gobbling up all the free space, will take it all eventually. It's just a matter of time. The fix is to find the corrupt file, fix it, and delete it.
When this happened in the MS, I couldn't find the specific file that was causing it - only that 80Mb had slowly vanished.
