After Anna Upgrade, and after fresh boot, the available RAM in my N8 reduces from 136Mb to 120Mb.  I really believe more RAM in Nokia phone is the ultimate necessity to operate the phone smoothly without hanging during playing.  Can I have the RAM back?

Similarly, c: drive space drop a lot after installing necessary system apps, for example, QT, few themes, Ovi Maps (3.6), etc, from 130Mb down to 80Mb.  I really want to save some for caching, any coming important system app, buffer for photo-taking and video recording, etc, and really uncomfortable with no space left in c: drive in my working experience with symbian. 

Pls help to recover some valuable c: space and RAM.

Make sure you install themes to mass memory or memory card, many apps install to C: unknown to the user, go into application manager and uninstall apps that are installed into C:, also go into file manager select the phone memory details and see where most of the memory is, might be sms msgs, if u have many, i realised mine was over 30 mb some time ago, i had to sync all to pc and delete most of em

 If you have no intention of using them you can remove MS Communicator, Adobe reader, Quick Office and Shazam. 

You will free up a significant amount of C: memory that way. Be warned though, Ovi suite will keep nagging you to install Applications 1/2 and 2/2 each time you connect the phone to Ovi suite. It's safe to ignore though.

If you use Nokia Beta Labs, beware.  Many of those applications by default install themselves on the C: drive, and you have no choice in the matter.

I have deleted all my messages, but in the File manager, Details bit on C: it still shows as 45Mb of messages!  Where are these invisible messages kept and how do I delete them to free up space?

I had an issue recently with a 60Mb message stuck in my gmail outbox that the phone decided it would be a good idea to download,

If you have an email acount set up that contains alot of mesages or which you have viewed (downloaded to the phone) a big message or 2 there could be your answer

Nice one thanks Synth! Had lots of emails with attachments in the sent folder. Now have 67mb to play with ;-)

U can even use xplore app to explore which file is occupying how much place around in your C: drive......

[avalx]

In my case the File manager says: 84MB SIS application (this I can live with) and 76MB Other files!!! Any way to find out what those "Other" files are?

[patrickngai]

how can u tell the mail box size? Besides, how to solve RAM problem, or squeeze max out? Hate being out of ram since old time.

I totally agree, why is there no option to store email om the mass drive instead off the c drive. I still looking for a tool to en large the c drive or is it phisicly a nother ram? Think a lot off people sync there mail. But the lak on space on the c-drive gifs me a headacke. I like the n8 but if there,s no soluttion if have to swap to a diffrent phone where i can use my mail and apps. hope that nokia comes with a tool or update to enlarge c drive

If you download the new Nokia Suite it comes with a facility to clean up the c: drive

Still only gives you 80mb to play with if you got everything installed, don't seem to matter if you got 80 or 130mb free the phone remains responsive.

Mine has drastically reduced on downloading beta apps.  Can I swap these to my mass memory instead? How can I do this?

[JoeFishman]

I have xplore but can't see an option to search the drive or list what's taking up most space - where is it please?

[laffcarl]

Hi I believe you need to look into the xplore settings and enable hidden and system files then you can see them all but be careful you can do damage if you just start deleting anything
