Help Yet another problem with the internal memory

Hi guys,

I bought the Wildfire S about 6 months ago, but I have only really needed it since shortly. Unfortunately, the phone has extremely low battery, and is very slowly. I don't understand why HTC would put this garbage on the market, being unfinished.

Still, I'll have to do with this phone for the coming 1.5 years, so I better get used to it.

Except, the internal memory problem is killing me. I have almost no installed apps on my phone(except perhaps Whatsapp, and Draw Something). I cleaned the phones cache a lot of times, but it still keeps telling me that I have 14 mb's of internal memory.

I have almost no apps on the phone, because it is just so bad. Everything runs slowly due to this internal memory problem. Are there any suggestions for me to do?
 
JDudez14 i have 10 apps installed on my phone including 6 large games, and have all my home screens filled with different widgets and still everything runs fine and i'm still left with around 50MB of space. what is your software version? also most apps could be moved to the sd card like El Presidente has posted..
as for the battery, it does suck on mine when i hav wifi enabled and when i transfer a lot of data over 3G so do check up on that...try reducing the auto sync frequency.

14mb does seem very low if you only have a few apps installed. One memory hog I found was FaceBook for HTC Sense. I switched this off as I didn't see the need for both FaceBook for HTC Sense and the FaceBook app.

I would also suggest you download the app DiskUsage. This will show you how much space each app is taking and may through some light on the problem.

I have had exactly the same problem. Two days ago I received a notification that Android 2.3.5 was available to download. As I only had 18MB available and the update required 20MB I couldnt do this. After deleting all my downloaded apps (all of which were on the SD card anyway), data cache , internet history and all emails I finally freed-up 22MB. After installing the update I had 35MB available and today I see I have 70MB free. Go figure ...

I did the same as MiketheMonkey, but I also unstalled the updates to the factory installed apps back to the original versions. I went from about 14MB to 52MB of free memory and was able to download the Android 2.3.5 upgrade. Once the new version was installed, the factory apps were re-updated automtically to the most current version. Had 58 MB of free memory afterwards to reload apps I wanted.
