In the SD card one gets to see the 'nmstracking' folder. Anybody has any idea about what the folder is? The folder is full of innumerable .log files. What are these? There functionality? I'm kinda confused as deleting them causes no effect to my phones functionality. The .log files keep coming back. Any basic idea anybody?

Thanks :)
 
Try opening the log files in a text editor to see what's inside them.

Most of the important looking stuff on the SD card can be removed with no effect on the phone's functionality. I'm not saying you should go on a deleting spree, but just don't be surprised when you delete something on the card and nothing breaks. I recommend renaming or moving instead of deleting when you don't know what something is but you think you want it gone...then if stuff breaks, you can rename or move it back.
