list of files

C:\System\Data\smssegst.dat,
C:\System\Data\smsreast.dat,
C:\System\Data\Cdbv2.dat,
C:\System\Schedules\Schedules.dat,
C:\System\Mail\*.*

The first sent message list for SMS,
the second the received message list for SMS,
the third a SMS and email database,
the fourth a schedule log for SMS and email.

The last which may be on C or D drives is the store of the actual messages. All files from this folder and it subfolder should be backed up and directory structure maintained.

The above information was obtained from the below link :-)

hi,

have u tried to delete it using pc file manager. Connect ur device

with the 9210 DLR-2 cable.

if it still can't be deleted, then ... format the comminucator.;)

but don't forget to backup the important files including the

install/uninstall directory ...

:)

sorry,

i'm not read ur post carefully. It looks like u have done it and

still failed. :)
