I'm trying to install To Tom on my brothers PDA .

I've got a 1 GB storage card , on the pda it's showing that 883 MB are in use but when I look to see what's there I don't see anything at all , no files to delete.

Even the "remove programs" option doesn't show anything.

Any idea's, it would be nice to do a format but I couldn't find anything at all to do this the other day.

Any ideas? :)

Do you have a usb SD card reader that you can read the card with rather than trying to do it in the PDA?

I haven't unfortunately. :)

OK so you're looking at the card through Active Sync then?

When you go to Explore (via Active Sync) and then open the \Storage Card folder you can't see any files there?

Have you got "Show Hidden Files And Folders" enabled in Tools, Folder Options, View?

Yes Active Sync.

No files there.

I'll try "Show Hidden Files And Folders" I didn't realise there was this option.

Thanks :)

It wasn't enabled, so I changed it to enabled.

There was one file on the SD card which I deleted, it's made virtually no difference at all though to he memory in use.

Might just buy another card. :)

You would be better spending the money on a card reader IMO mate
