I know this should go in technology but have tried and nothing so was wondering if anyone has a Nokia N91 my mates keeps saying low memory delete data but there is nothing left on his phone to delete and with the low memory he cant do much. Anyone else had this problem and have you solved it?

has it got a removable data card?

[4getmenot]

I've just asked but could take a while for a reply

[redcrx]

It may be that stuff is stored on the card and hasnt been wiped.

my n70 does this, i just turn if off and back on again it seems to clear it

[4getmenot]

redcrx no card, its got a hard drive but thats not the problem it is the phone memory itself and everytime he texts it ******* up. And he has tried the turning off and on again.

has he tried taking the sim out and rubbing the metal connector bits with a rubber? it's my cure all for everything phone related!

From here :

If in the course of normal operation, you start seeing messages about low memory, you need to remove some files from the Internal drive to recover some space. Note that 'memory' and 'storage' are effectively the same on a Series 60 phone.

* If you're not sure what's on your phone, go to Tools > File Manager > Options > Memory details to see what's using your precious memory
* If it's your MMC card that's filling up, go to Extras > Memory > Options > Memory details
* To free space, use the File Manager app to either delete files, or to move them to the MMC card

I gave you 3 for going to length on that answer for me but it hasn�t helped the phone hasn�t got a mmc card or anything it�s a Nokia n91 with hard drive and the hard drive has completely empty memory its actual memory on phone if that makes sense

Nope, doesn't make sense lol. Are you saying the internal hard drive is empty? Anyway, also from that site :

* First, try a soft-reset of the phone - Do this by pulling the battery out for a minute, then reinserting it. When the phone restarts, it should close down all running applications, which may free up some space. It's also worth removing the memory card, if your phone has one.
* If that doesn't help, try to restart the phone in "safe mode" - This causes the phone to load as few apps as possible at startup. To do this, take the battery out and reinsert it (to perform a soft reset), then hold down the ABC (or pencil) key, and while holding it down, start up the phone.
* Sometimes, startup problems are as a result of a battery/power problem, so try starting with your phone while it's powered by the charger lead

As a very last resort, you can format the phone and start again - This will remove all data, and you'll have to restore your phone's information from a backup.

If he needs to go down the format road :

The soft-format code for Series 60 phones is *#7370# . You enter this code as you would enter a phone number in the Phone application. It performs a format of the Internal drive - All data will be lost if you use this feature.

Last resort :

The method of performing a hard-format (on most Nokia Series 60 phones), i.e resetting it completely to factory defaults and removing all data, is as follows:

1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (call answer) button, * button, and '3' button
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone
4. When the message 'Formatting' appears on the screen, release all of the buttons
