Hi all!
I have a P910i and I was looking into system folders. I saw that I have lots of files from programs that I've installed and uninstalled.
Is there any software that can clean/delete file I need no more?
tkx for all!

i just bought that program....
used it...

well... basically b4 you install a new program
create an image of your C and D...
after you install the program...
disk cleaner will let you compare the difference b4 and after...
you'll see the extra files...
---
BUT..... if you're uninstalling something now (b4 install diskcleaner), it won't help you... when i run the find junk files function, nothing was found.... so you can say that it doesn't really do things automatically....
you manually select the files (those that are different from the image you created) and decide if you wanna delete them...

one thing i really wanna know tho...
in p9xx, when something is installed, does it only contain files (like linux)??
or does it write someting like a registry file somewhere (like windows)??
---
why i ask this question is... even after formatting the C... (MS pro not formatted), when i plug in the MS again, the programs installed on the MS re-appear... which imply that, the phone simply reads the structure of the files on the MS instead of some registry files stored in C, am i wrong??

I would like to know that too
I'm trying with a filemanager for PC. Then I'll try to login into P910 and manually delete all files I don't need...
However I know its more dangerous and I won't delete all
Tkx all

@dikai
It's more like *nix/linux, programs are installed in specific locations and are not kept in a registry like in Windows.
Some programs (mostly shareware) hide files in your phone with names you don't know what to do with, which keeps a record on your usage of that particular program, so that you don't use it more then the 10-30 day trial period.
This is where a program like diskcleaner would be useful, when your trial is out, you just uninstall it and let diskcleaner do it's job and find those extra files.
