More then double of what i have. Anyways. Did she installed Microsoft apps? Also, what apps are installed in c: You can get read of social, if you don't use it, Microsoft apps (recommended, if it's installed) f-secure, sky files and colorize it if she does not use it. The C: mem. does not disappear by it self. The more apps you install the more of C: goes away (one by one kb, but shore). One of the biggest is also, QT. While this is a great thing. installing qt based apps, they often will install additional stuff to your QT. Making it support the functions but in the same time larger, occupying more space. Maps apps also eat allot of space (you cannot do nothing about that). If you cannot find the real culprit, just factory reset the device and you will have your mem back (don't forget to backup). And next time be more careful with QT apps, cause even if you uninstalled them, the .dll's and other functions will remain installed.> i don'e have allot of memory either, just 75 mb. which is normal. More then 90 you cannot have with official firmware after everything is set.

All the others are in kbs. I guess that's normal. So what's eating up the drive C:? By the way, the Social app is installed at C:. Does that eat up memory when it's used? Is that the culprit?
            Is this the case for N8s that doesn't use any CFW, a depleting C: drive? Again, I don't wanna use any CFW coz my sister's N8 runs perfectly except sometimes she shows it to me with a warning of low memory on C:.

There are some folders that will be safe to delete. But none can give you to much space. Using x-plore (and setting it to show system files) you can safely delete: enter Data, then delete MailForExchange, also config. folder (be careful, this one contains configurations of some of your installed apps, if you need thats configs. don't delete the folder). You can also delete everything that's in temp folder and tmp folder. Now enter system folder and you can delete cache folder and dmgr. You can also delete System.ini file. You can also delete everything is in system/temp folder. Also, if you use opera mobile you can enter c: system/data/OperaMobile. delete application_cache, cache, cacheOp folders. that's about it. Still won't release to much memory. So you will need to look somewhere else also. Installed apps and themes, also see if there are photos and music files in c, if there are, move them.

I used MobileCleaner and still it only has 25mb and I'm sure it's gonna deplete more. Is there a way to manually delete folders from C: to get more memory? What folders can I safely delete from C: now?

                    my review
                    Nokia N8 is a near perfect Nokia Phone
                    It is fast for internet Class 33 edge is good
                    Music is not as good as c6-01 or 5800 music
                    Camera is good but 12 mp photos need bigger memory space as each photograph is above 1 mb.
                    rather buy any phone with lower mp but definately a carl zeis
                    3.5 inch screen is good for interenet bad for using with one hand. for one hand you need 3.2 inch screen
                    Over all i just like the phone for internet nothing more
                    I prefer TFT or LCD over AMOLED coz AMOLED are too sharp for eyes
                    Yes its a Near perfect Nokia Phone...Coz we can do everything just not in a best way !
                    Also its symbian 3 phone. Symbian 3 is my best version of Symbian till date. I prefer it over anna or belle

                          Before I have Skype in my Nokia N8 belle version. but now I want to reinstall the same & I check with Nokia store, its showing "Sorry, this item is not available for the Nokia N8-00 Belle.Browse more great content in the "Related" section below". I am very disappoint in this. Why Nokia do this with us. We are always support Nokia & a great fan of Nokia.

                              Still one of the best camera phones. Even today's smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S4 can't even come close to it in terms of battery backup and photography. Great piece of engineering. This is a beast. Using since more than a year.
