UGGGGHHH...Help Please

I have a sprint 8330...and Ive had it about 18 months. Ive noticed the last 2 months or so that the free memory just bleeds out like crazy. I will literally do nothing but send 10 SMS texts, and it will go from 29,000,000 to 19,000,000 in 2 hours. I have no apps running, GPS turned off, etc.

I read through a bunch of threads on memory leaking/bleeding, and just couldn't find any concise answers. Anyone have an idea of what I can/should do to stop this? Once it drops below 20,000,000, my BB realllllly slows down and takes 10-15 seconds to send a regular text message.

Help...please.

Facebook has been known to leak memory sometimes.

The others would not seem to be an issue, although I am not familiar with Map My Tracks (but I can't imagine that it's a problem).

When you go to Options > Status, press the Menu button and select Database Sizes. Is there anything there that seems to be occupying a lot of space?

Maybe you have a lot of saved email or text messages?

App World by far was my biggest memory culprit. It was voracious, drawing my memory down daily. Things have been a lot more stable since I ditched it. And, since it leaves a shortcut, I can always put it back if I actually need it.
