Thread: How To - Free Up Memory On Your BlackBerry

It's amazing how much your BlackBerry can do with very little memory. Compared to other PDAs, the BlackBerry only has a fraction of the memory available.


When memory is low, your BlackBerry will perform Low Memory Management, erasing data like Browser Cache, Old Emails etc. Yes that's right, your BlackBerry will delete unsaved old emails without asking you. That's why it's important to manage your memory.

There a few things you can do to free up some space on your BlackBerry:

1. Enable Content Compression: Go to Options --> Security and enabled Content Compression, this will free up some space.
2. Delete the Help Application: For more experienced users who don't use the help feature, go to Options --> Applications, select Help and delete it.
3. Delete the Unused Language Packs: Delete any unused language packs installed on your BlackBerry from the Application Options screen.
4. Delete Unused Apps and games : If you've had your fill of any app or game , delete it, which will make your blackberry more responsive .
5. Delete Pictures: Delete any unwanted images from the Pictures Application, these are often quite large and should free up some much needed space.
6. Make Use of the Lookup Feature: Instead of keeping a large address book, just use the lookup feature if it is available from your company.
7. Set Keep Appointments to 15 Days: It's unlikely that you'll need old appointments on your BlackBerry, especially if you're on a BES. Go to Calendar Options and set Keep Appointments = 15 Days.

hey danish
didn't find any option mentioned in 1, 2 & 6. aren't these available for OS6??? they are seems to be BES dependent options.

@deepak the 1st option is der for everyone ...for os 6 goto option and storage ....there u"ll see enable compression..
and the 2nd option is just to remove a help app from application management..this is also der..
only the 6th option is for BES.....

@danishmemon19
1 option says content compression in security which I didn't find & compression in Storage option u mentioned must be different one. When we take backup there you'll find Content Store as a different data type.

Since I shrunk my OS & I already done away with help then only,that's why I couldn't find help app in my app manager.

Thanks a lot
