I've long struggled with very low internal memory on my Desire. It hovers around 89% (figure from Adao File Manager) - the warning notification pops up when it reaches 90%. Flash and Maps were each taking up 11MB; the largest apps on the phone and neither could go onto SD.
Both keep increasing in size with every update so I thought I'd see what would happen if did an 'uninstall updates' on both and then updated straight to the latest one.
Flash went back to the factory version and according to the Applications settings menu it's taking up no space and I'd freed up almost 9% of my phone memory despite Flash working fine. Updating Flash takes it back up to 11MB even though the size in market says 4MB. I uninstalled again and went back to factory version
Maps did the same thing (although in that case I've updated it to the most recent as there's stuff I miss)
Is this normal? why should an update to a factory installed bit of software take up so much space? It's as if it's installing a complete new app rather than updating the pre-existing one
