TMP*****.$$$ files?

I have an N73 mobile phone and I always install new applications on the memory card. So I was surprised to find that more than half of the space of my C drive(in mobile phone) is used up. I checked all the folders using Y-Browser and found lots of TMP*****.$$$(for example TMP04907.$$$) under C:\System\data\mg2. It's those files that take up nearly half of the total space. Are they system files or temporary files? Is it safe to delete them?

Hope somebody can answer my question. Thanks

Here is a screenshot of those files, there are 100+ of them. I hope it makes my problem clearer.

Re: TMP*****.$$$ files?

Some temp files are use by the os itself, but don't worry you'll not able to delete it since it is protected(don't know if y-browser circumbent the protection). Why not backup your phone & do format so you'll have a clean slate since it is a series 60 phone I believe.

Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the Kudos..

Re: TMP*****.$$$ files?

Thanks for the reply ^^ Have never tried deleting them. So I don't know whether I can delete them or not.

Formatting is my last resort. I've installed quite a number of applications and games in my phone. It's quite troublesome to reinstall them. Will only resort to formatting when I really have no space left =_=
