- I'm very confused about the free space on my playbook
Playbook -> About
says the following
OS - 2.0.0.6149
Applications - 115
Music - 1
Videos - 4
Pictures - 7
Documents 22
Total Storage 14.7 GB
Free Storage 2.5 GB
Total Memory 1 GB
Free Memory 480.4 MB
Blackberry Desktop Software says I have 1.2 GB free for Media Sync
Here is what windows shows
Bookmarks -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
Books -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
Camera -> 6 Files, 5.2 Mb
Documents -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
Downloads -> 2 files, 171kb
Misc -> 31 files, 23 Folders, 3.25 GB
-> Alarms -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
-> Android -> 18 files, 7 Folders 61.7 MB
-> DCIM -> 6 Files, 1 Folders, 5.12 MB
-> Download -> 2 Files, 171 kb
-> ICQ -> 0 Files, 0 kb
-> Movies -> 3 Files, 1 Folder, 3.18 GB
-> Music -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
-> Notifications -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
-> Pictures -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
-> Podcasts -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
-> Ringtones -> 0 Files, 0 bytes
Music -> 0 files, 1 Folder, 0 bytes
Photos -> 0 files, 0 bytes
Print -> 0 files, 0 bytes
Videos -> 3 files, 1 Folder, 3.18 GB
Voice -> 0 files, 0 bytes
Now what I'm confused about is the same videos seem to be in the Video folder as well as the Misc -> Android -> Moives -> Videos -> 3 Files, 3.18 GB02-20-12 12:13 PMLike 0 -
When I remove all the movies I have 5.6 GB free.
My question is what the is taking up 10 GB on the playbook if there are no movies. I don't see the OS and apps taking up 10 GB.
I side loaded some apps using DDPB Installer and I've tried to connect with that app again but it's not working for some reason. but I only added 5 apps that way and they were not very big a couple MB each.02-20-12 12:39 PMLike 0 - There was a similar thread yesterday about a 16gig. Could this be the old "cluster" issue where file sizes vary depending on the real size versus how much disk space is required? The concept was a file of say 1024bytes would take up that much space but a file of say 1025bytes would take up an entirely additional 1024 section to accommodate that one extra byte???? Just musing - I have no idea!02-20-12 12:40 PMLike 0
- Maybe I will do a wipe and start over. Go back to OS 1.8 and be ready for the upgrade tomorrow and see where that gets me.
I'm assuming all the apps I've paid for (3 Angry Bird Apps) I can reinstall for free using Appworld correct?
I'm not to concerned about the other stuff I've done.02-20-12 12:45 PMLike 0 - Superfly_FRRetired ModeratorMaybe I will do a wipe and start over. Go back to OS 1.8 and be ready for the upgrade tomorrow and see where that gets me.

Yes Apps bought in AppWorld will remain in your "My World" section.
P.S: You can use the USB/wifi share on the PB to simply copy/paste the files you want on your PC.02-20-12 12:51 PMLike 0 - I suggest you do a debrick instead of a wipe. Debrick wil do the "all in one" wipe + update. If you wait until the 2.0 launch, then ... you may gain some time.

Thanks... The security wipe is in progress. I'll see how that turns out first.02-20-12 12:54 PMLike 0 - whenever i rooted and rommed my androids,i always made a nandroid backup. they were basically a backup of the entire phone at the time, and doing a nandroid restore would restore everything.
2 or 3 nandroids later, my 8 gig sd was nearly full.
is there something similar on the pb?02-20-12 01:53 PMLike 0 - Ok so I did the security wipe and it just reinstalled OS 2. I de-bricked it and got 1.0.8.6067 back.
I reinstalled most of my apps. Got rid of some I didn't want. I now have the following
Total 14.7 GB
Free 12.1 GB
Memory 1GB
Free Memory 619 MB
So media sync now shows 11.2 gb free. The Misc folder is now empty.
So I firmly believe that it was something with OS2 that was hogging all the space.
Anyway. Will see what happens tomorrow.02-20-12 02:49 PMLike 0
