How to Free up Memory on My Blackberry Pearl
- 1). Delete useless applications. Go to your main menu and select "Options," select "Advanced Options," then select "Applications." Delete any application you don't use. Keep the BlackBerry Core and System, Attachments, Map, Browser, and EMail Setup on the phone. After deleting the applications you won't be using, the phone will require you to reboot.
- 2). Shorten the amount of time you keep messages. Go to the main menu, select "Messages," press the BlackBerry button and scroll down to "Options." Select "General Options," scroll down and select "Keep Messages." Change this to 15 days.
- 3). Allow content compression. At the menu screen select "Options," select "Security Options," then hit "General Settings." Scroll down and choose to enable content compression.
- 4). Delete pictures. If you have not scanned through your pictures recently, it may be about time to delete unwanted photos from your phone. Select "Media" from the main menu, then "Pictures" and "My Pictures." From here you can choose which pictures you want to delete by hitting the BlackBerry button when the photo is highlighted and selecting "Delete."
- 5). Clear cache and cookies. Open the Internet browser on your phone and select the BlackBerry button. Select "Options," then "Cache Operations." Clear everything listed on the phone in this menu. Clear the history, content cache, pushed content, and cookie cache.
- 6). Reduce memory allotted for media. Again, on the main menu select "Media." Press the BlackBerry button and select "Options." Under "General" there is the "Device Memory Limit" option. Change this to 12MB.
